Fake-news, I can see the problem.
However snobbishly trolling with risque art and historical pictures, and slamming FB because the overworked mods were not sophisticated enough to recognize them seems like bullying to me.
Considering the amount of influence Facebook imposes on it's users I don't think so. It's very difficult even for the best of men to be constantly aware of ones cognitive biases. If facebook only shared friend's posts, I would have to agree. But the fact that it intertwines this reality based, emotionally meaningful data with effectively biased noise it gives that biased noise a terrible force. That noise will start to bounce around in ones social circles like in an echo chamber, thus giving it even more credibility.

FB feeds false signals from unvetted third parties, while censoring input from trusted parties.
Once again, if Facebook was a bulletin board, I would agree. But it's something far more insidious. The problem is that the whole point of Facebook is to convince users that any data they see from third party sources is meaningful and important - to create add based revenue. It creates this effect by utilizing ones friend network. Thus it twists something precious and important into a cognitive attack vector.
The problem is - this is not made explicit - and the more ignorant users are of this effect the better it is for their business.
I'm not saying they are evil geniuses. They just want to sell adds. It's probably the way it is through constant application of A/B testing. The metrics drive the interface to be ever more convincing. It's a system to create ever more convincing messages from unsolicited third parties.
The censoring then actively intercepts messages from vetted parties, adding insult to injury.
But its like death with thousand cuts. I think the users should drop the demand for art and historical stuff.
