When FB "caves to political pressure" you can rightly say FB could do better, but it does belie the point that there are governments actively seeking to distort information and using their political and economic power to force private companies to obey or be punished. And it's not just foreign governments, we give FB a hard time for not spending enough resources to combat misinformation shared on their platform, but when "professional" news organizations invest resources in creating misinformation it's protected by the first amendment. I understand the legal bind, but it seems like a double standard.
