Even if this was true, wouldn't it be in the best interests of employees from other FAANG companies to upvote these stories?

No. A decrease in Google's share price doesn't increase Facebook's share price. These companies are mostly in the same boat of being large tech companies with significant amounts of power. It's in all of the employees' best interest to suppress stories critical of anything that could be generally applicable to that power structure.
