You are correct, and you are wrong. If the Feds now have their hands in the recipe for how Facebook conducts business for the next twenty years, then facebook may NEED to eliminate accounts based on the new business rules of the FEDS!!! I do not see it as a stretch to get from one to the other!
I don't think so! The new business rules are about protecting personal data. The 5G fine was because FB did not protect personal data when they said they would.
Anyway 5G's are peanuts to FB, over the year they had a 40G's gross business out of which 22g's were net profit.
Data breach was the reason they were allowed in. Now that they are in, they can say what proper practices are, and one of them seems to be "what good are fake or spam accounts for Advertising, if that is what you are doing? IF you are trying to focus advertisers, why allow these rouge accounts?"
You also have to remember, it is an election year, and the last one was #rekt BY SOCIAL MEDIA, I.E. FACEBOOK! The feds want to know that Facebook has their customers in line, and WHO THEY ARE!
