I assume they will not operate in a vacuum and weigh sources according to their track record of human rights abuses. Despite attempts in recent years by abusers to convince everyone that all sources are equally bad, human history is recorded and not all organizations and governments are egregiously as bad as others

Thank goodness FB is not the real Internet. Imagine winding up on the wrong side of a secret rule-making group who marks your free speech as unacceptable.

Imagine winding up on the wrong side of a lynch mob that Facebook abets.
Actually, you don't need to imagine, this happens every once in a while in India.
If Facebook wants to be responsible for curating content on their platforms (Which they absolutely do, wrt, say, pornography, stalking, harassment, etc), then they can't shirk that responsibility, either.

If it hasn't already happened, the internal policies will devolve to removing anything it determines will lead to violence.
I have no strong opinions on this.
