Market based equalization provides a balancing force - showing not everything requires gov regulation to correct bad behaviour :)

Their popularity and role in influencing people has resulted in them getting even get more scrutiny than NYTimes and other media outlets who heavily shape and editorialize their coverage.

If FB starts losing money because of outrage brought via media and loss of advertisers, then they will be punished for negative behaviour and work to avoid it.

Otherwise, they own their web properties and are allowed to control the content as they wish.

I don't think there can be enough outcry all at once to even dent facebook's profits at this point tbh. Can hardly see it.
