That is a cop out from Facebook and any social media company if there was any. The algorithmic feed that drives more engagement drives their user base to be more extreme.

It is also hypocritical of Facebook employees who were quiet when worse atrocities were happening in other parts of the world where their platform is "the only source of truth" (read Myanmar / Philippines).

Just to clarify: more extreme is not necessary more right or conservative.

Yes. And a platform whose userbase is already conservative will become more extreme in that direction.
