I think you've completely missed my point. None of this is about what Facebook has the right to do.

I will try to reiterate as clearly as I can.

1) Facebook is criticized for the content it hosts

2) Facebook claims that it is simply a platform, and that it does not want to moderate, editorialize, or otherwise modify the content as such, erring on allowing content

3) Facebook actively modifies content in terms of how it is displayed, which makes (2) seem like a really stupid argument

Again, none of this is about what they are obligated to do, it's just about the hypocrisy of trying to say you're a content agnostic platform while actively grooming your content. It's made worse by the issue of that grooming prioritizing engagement, which almost always means that the most controversial content is what you see.
