FB has the metrics. The precedent is Cambridge Analytica.

  That's great, but those metrics aren't available to us so speculating on that has little value.

    We don't need the metrics ourselves to have common sense: 1. Facebook's job as a corporation is to make money 2. Making money for FB is largely based on MAU 3. Playing politics and censoring the chosen world leaders of large portions of their user base is a probable way to lose those users, and thus, money

      I don't know what MAU means but I do know that humans are terrible at predicting things, common sense has little to do with metrics and, yes, of course Facebook's job is to make money. The assumption that people leave assumes that there is a different place to go to, which for most people, there isn't because social networks are exactly that: networks. Unless you have a small isolated network that can move all at the same time, it is not likely that people will single themselves out.
