Cynically we could say that the current news cycle is about putting pressure on big tech companies to try to rig the next election in favour of a Democrat.

Even more cynically we could say that an awful lot of people at an awful lot of tech companies want to do exactly that, and “responding to pressure” just gives them a perfect excuse.

Yes. I think a lot of liberal activism regarding Facebook is an attempt at 'working the refs'. The other side does it too -- before FB shut down the 'trending topics' section, there were many allegations of anti-conservative bias.

Why do you think the right has spent years whining about Google and Facebook’s supposed “left wing bias” with literally no evidence...? If anything the liberals are doing it to counter BS from the right.
