This is just Facebook acting in bad faith, and glad to see many employees can see right through the charade.
Facebook cares about its bottom line only. By restricting things, it decreases its income. They don't want to verify ads (my dad was just scammed the other day. I have since gotten my mom off of Facebook). They don't want to lose users, that includes nazis, white supremacists, Trump supports, far left radicals, etc. They don't care about hackers, and foreign agents influencing elections.
If Facebook wishes to be a public forum then it needs to either become a utility or it needs to lose its profit incentive. Otherwise it is a private platform and should bear the consequence of the misinformation and hate it spreads.
