Apple is holding Facebook accountable for the largely automated, but exclusively revenue-driven, decisions they make on whether to amplify or to suppress any given piece of information/content/advertising. It's insidious and goes beyond editorial control. They have the power to control the national dialogue.
Facebook signed up for this scrutiny when they decided that not all posts were equal. If all posts had an equal chance (i.e., were exclusively sorted chronologically) then I think this would be a very different conversation. But that's just not as profitable so `viva la sedition!`
