No, technically you cannot trust them, although I don't think they have reason to lie. Every successful supraregional newspaper today is dependent on Facebook and collaborates with it.
To those that downvote you I would really hear your reason. My favorite high quality newspaper (non US) was transparent with that fact that direct collaboration is necessary for successful economic prospects. The paper said it can only promise to report objectively on Facebook, the dependence wasn't even disputed. I don't know exactly, but I would think it was at least 6-8 years ago.
But I would argue that newspapers today try to establish themselves as authoritative sources. I think the problem Mrs Haugen tries to identify is far less dangerous than the proposed solution of a government institution consisting of former social media employees. That is ripe for special interest corruption. That is worse than some angry and angsty teenagers and even less democratic.
