2016: Facebook rigged an election. They are awful.

You forgot one.

2012: Facebook (via an open, neutral platform) helped Obama win the election. They are wonderful. E.g. “Obama, Facebook and the power of friendship: the 2012 data election” (The Guardian, February 2012)

Free speech of corporate-owned property is not new. In London, there's a huge amount of public spaces that are privately owned, but companies can't control their speech. Facebook may be similar.
