Although Facebook is a private company, its social platform is actually providing public services to the public. All participants created business value for Facebook. So all participants are Facebook customers. I get Facebook services, not the gifts that Facebook gives us. Facebook has an obligation to treat all customers equally, and it has an obligation not to discriminate against any customers.
Not under U.S. law. FB is free to discriminate against customers as it sees fit so long as the reason for discrimination is not the person's race, color, national origin, or religion under federal law (assuming federal law on discrimination by places of public accommodation even apply to purely online businesses, something that the courts have not yet settled). State laws may provide additional categories of protection. But outside those limited protected categories FB is free to discriminate as it wishes.

If Facebook is left to influence the media's value orientation based on its own standards, it will cause great harm. In order to help the Communist Party of China propagate its extreme ideas and control the thinking of Chinese in the United States, it is in the interest of the CCP and harms the interests of the United States.
China may regulate how FB operates within China. FB is free to cooperate with what the Chinese government wants outside of China, too, so long as doing so does not violate the law of that other country. And lots of Western companies do cooperate with the Chinese government out of fear of losing their Chinese market. While American firms that do that risk offending some of their American customers, they don't violate U.S. law in doing it.
