  Jack and Zuck have zero incentive to discourage anything that limits communication or discourages both sides from buying as many ads as possible. I would go so far as to say that Trump could not have been elected without misinformation promoted on Facebook and Twitter and the net result has been a massive probably irreparable rift in our nation and will ultimately when the dust settled have aided in killing addition hundreds of thousands of people that didn't have to die. An trivially manipulable echo chamber designed to magnify lies and hate is not a matter of minor import without clear real world consequences. It's possible that they are apt to desire to do a little self regulation now in order to avoid a heavier hand doing it for them later. Is this a trend you see reversing soon?
