I no longer work at Meta, but it's most likely 1) the website got hacked and serves malware or 2) false positive. There's plenty of websites that are critical of Facebook. No one at Meta has 4 billion users - no employee is concerned about a tiny local newspaper and would purposely censor them.
The most likely reason is that there are a lot of phishing and spam websites that pretend to be Facebook, so the spam filter catches the keyword "Facebook".
