Ultimately, it is Mark Zuckerberg's website and therefore the content reflects the views of Mark Zuckerberg. He has the final say on whether something is published on the website or not.
It really should not matter how many "members" or "guest contributors" he has, even if it is in the billions. User-generated content is just a way to get traffic.
