The complaint is not that Facebook is suppressing conservative viewpoints. It's that Facebook claims it is using a blind algorithm to determine what topics are trending for its top ten news feed when it turns out that they've been manipulating the list to leave conservative topics out of it.
It's not really disconcerting that a company would tailor their content to express their own viewpoint like Facebook has done. It happens all the time. It's the dishonest way they have gone about it that has everybody up in arms.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
