I think the headline is misleading because it's wrong to suggest that FB is banning dating apps that compete with its service.
FB is banning dating apps that don't adhere to its public guidelines, which is a different thing altogether.
We can disagree with said guidelines, but they are at least objective.
The headline conflates the issue on purpose, i.e. to drive popular support for ostensible the anti-competitive action of Facebook, when really what they're objecting to is the nature of the policy that doesn't allow their dating app.
It's definitely misleading.
