Having a strong opinion based on zero knowledge is like American politics 101.

I mean, yeah. Doesn't make it reasonable. You can either argue it's unreasonable or argue that Facebook should behave "ethically" here, I don't think you can have both. It seems like people want Facebook to help everyone to have a strong opinion based on zero knowledge, but they want everyone to have the "correct" opinion.
I think social media doesn't give people "the wrong opinion," I think it gives people opinions in general when they shouldn't have any.

I remember a professor with a book he was going to publish in the 1950s and the dock worker who was doing immigration saw it and said “Nobody is gonna read that”. He thought it was very funny that all Americans have an opinion on everything. People also did read it.
