For some reason, I don't think this is surprising. Within the tech industry, specially Hacker News readers, we know that Facebook does a lot of "growth hacks", "gorilla marketing", "Microsoft way of doing things - Bill's era (remember Netscape vs. IE?)". So, even if FB Internal docs are released, the real surprising fact will be that end users are not going to simply stop using FB, IG, WhatsApp and we get mystified about "WHY"?! Or just "accept" that's always the case. At the end, the users are either not interested to follow what FB does nor they have access to the truth. With those Billion of users, most of them are outside the sphere of influence of American media. Each country shows its most interesting news, a combination of top current world and local news. The current ones would be "Climate Change", "Hong Kong Protests", "Trade war US and China", "Something in the Middle East", "Something about US Stocks", and maybe: something about FB. If we imagine ourselves as news writers, it is not easy to convey the nuances, calculated moves, and strategic choices that FB is doing to control its market to the general population. Thus, there are many barriers to really use this information to change FB behavior. Perhaps I'm pessimistic about it. So at the end, it will only be surprising if the users understand and FB get huge pushback from its user base.
