They could have avoided all of that by not interfering.

All they need to do is nothing. Don't favor some news, don't block fact-checkers. Just let me see everything my friends post.

Great point; the question then becomes why is this interference necessary? Largely due to ads. Instagram made their feed algorithmic recently for this reason.
