While other people post content, what content is nudged higher up your feed aor further down the list is definitely in Facebook’s control. They are driving public opinion based on what is promoted or demoted. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Zuck personally decides which posts are promoted, esp. when they come from important people. It’s too much power to just give up to others, and Facebook has never had noble intentions.

This cannot be under-emphasized.

Facebook isn't a neutral medium. There's an algorithm that determines priority for data hitting every user's feed.
