I'm surprised anyone is surprised by this.
Facebook's goal is to make money. All the politics on the side are just virtue signaling for the purposes of recruiting, lobbying, and winning in the court of public opinion. When there's real money on the table, politics, privacy, etc. take a back seat for them.
Not saying that's the way it ought to be. But that's how it is for FB, and many of the so-called "progressive" companies.
As politicized as unions can get, to engage in union busting isn't just picking a political side, it's unethical. But yeah, your point still holds.
