I don't think that corporate presence on Facebook is really the problem. Facebook is designed to maximize user engagement. That doesn't conflate with truthfulness of content (user- or corporate-posted)—in fact, often times it's the opposite. Of course, this isn't new—yellow journalism was a big problem in the early 20th century. But Facebook's algorithm—and the ease of starting new media outlets—makes it orders of magnitude worse.
