The news feed of a Hacker News frequenter is very atypical. You likely have more friends in the tech industry, and thus you're likely to see posts on this story.

I think what he means is that Facebook doesn't filter/censor news stories your friends share if they speak negatively of Facebook.

Your comment calls into question the anecdotal evidence used to dismiss a claim made with no evidence whatsoever.

I have a similar anecdote, but mine does not match the mitigating circumstance you ventured.

Regardless, even a less-than-credible personal account clears the bar of required evidence to dismiss the above claim, since that requirement is currently zero.
