This is one potential outcome.

Another is organisations will keep the same content (as this is what drives clicks and profitability), however change the language used to describe it.

I would say this outcome is worse, as it leads to things like newspeak, muddying of definitions, and an increase in accusations of dogwhistling (accurate or otherwise). We may already be on this path, but it would be accelerated.

That's a cat an mouse game though - Facebook will react by also flagging the new definitions. The problem is the keywords themselves, but the act of Facebook banning them.
