An algorithmically sorted feed separating signal from noise will ALWAYS have to make the choice of what to show. If there are 10k stories, and the average person only scrolls through 1k stories, thats 9k stories it chooses to suppress.
There is a difference between delisting stories completely, and removing stories in private messages, but once you talk about the feed itself, the provider is going to be writing some kind of editorial engine, that prefers stories that have more engagement, while at the same time trying to not uprank trash, spam, clickbait, and other types of bs that float to the top.
Spam has already crossed the line, where near everybody, in universal agreement, is ok with their email provider blanket censoring the bulk of it.
