I find always surprising that people and now politicians expect Facebook to act like a public service and not like the private company it is.<p>Facebook answers to its interests as a company.<p>Since when are not newspapers curated, and leaning left or right? Did someone go ask Fox News to explain manipulation to the Senate? Facebook may make decisions that cost its credibility, but it&#x27;s in its own right as a private company to select the content they provide, just as it can skew your timelines or suck every piece of data from your browsing habits and resell it to advertisers ( you accepted their terms after all)<p>Facebook is not a public service nor an NGO nor a bunch of nuns doing charity work.
