I would hold Facebook completely blameless regarding what people read on it if they allowed the option of non-algorithmic feeds. The argument I hear against this that a raw feed would be overwhelming. This argument is bunk - no matter what, if I have more feed than I can read, then some of the feed is not getting read. The only question is who gets to decide what I read, either me or somebody else. Give me all the ads you want but let me have control over who's content I see - I suspect this can never happen because it would reduce the hours people spend on facebook too much. If facebook is saying 1) you can't have the real feed and 2) only we can decide what version of the feed you are going to see, then they own that feed and subsequently have responsibility for it in the same way an editor has responsibility for an opinion column - you are actively publishing some things over others, and are responsible for those choices.
