That's probably a whole lot easier than trying to filter the ads for "correctness".

Right.

Discussion of political topics comes later, "to make it fair".

Trump ads come up in my FB feed saying that I am one of his supporters and leading me to a survey - the OFFICIAL ONE - of his approval.

The survey only has three worded options as to how I think he is going

Great
Good
OK

Funny stuff.

In theory it could be said that it's a private business so it's their business.

In practice Twitter is a State subsidy (like we all our) so of course it could be construed as a political move just as any action can by any entity operating under the State (which, again, we all are).

You mean Zuckerberg's decision to support free speech don't you?

His response to the puerile Sorkin was perfect:
app-facebook
Mark Zuckerberg
on Thursday
"America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say: You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the land of the free."
- Aaron Sorkin, The American President
