Are you saying that Facebook is responsible to make decisions for us - because all it takes is one advertisement to override the average human's discipline and self control?

If Facebook didn't have the power to affect the decisions of their users they wouldn't have a business.

The advertisements are just what they sell. As the platform owners, they can do a lot more in terms of information curation.
