Bullshit. Facebook as a matter of policy manipulates people's feeds - the chances of something appearing, in what order, etc.

People have found that certain sites, topics, and words will trigger an outright shadowban on that post - your friends never see it.

not sure which part you are calling bullshit. Facebook certainly controls the how much a post is circulated, but it doesnt control which links people put in their posts, or how often they post.

The idea that facebook should have to pay a fee each time a user decides to share a link to news is stupid.
