Facebook have repeatedly shown that their official "word" is pretty well as good as doodoo, so I'm surprised anyone would think they would hold themselves to a "promise" over their bottom-line. It's likely that, seeking to lessen their exposure to political attention of a sort they don't like, of the kind critical to their business/way of making money, Facebook simply over-promises with the expectation that the next thing that catches attention will divert attention away from them and the idea of them actually following though on those promises.
