Hello Nanaborga.

It seems Facebook have already tried to be more liberal in the past which leads to Zukerberg having to appear for questioning before the US Senate for matters relating to the alleged Russia meddling in the 2016 US Election. Thus, I different turned was taken by the social giant since 2017 on related issues.

Also, it might be necessary to avoid great criticism from even more powerful people. See for example what happened recently to the emerging social network dubbed The Parler App - totally crippled for tryna be more liberal or indifferent: https://www.nairaland.com/6355496/global-suspension-parler-social-network#97911843
