Facebook chooses what I see while on their platform. If they didn't, I'd just see a chronological feed of my friends posts that I chose to follow as they came through without any external filtering. Going directly to friends walls shows that is not the case.
Instead, they amplify emotionally based content that they think I will react to (engagement) by studying previous interactions and don't show me things they don't agree with (censorship) even if it originated from an authoritative primary source. That doesn't sound like it originated in society, but more of a purposeful curation imposed on users, who have to conform if they want to stay. I didn't.
