> just UPDATE stories SET disputed = t WHERE ID = ?

It's not that easy. They need provide a link with an explanation why a certain story is disputed.

It's true that Facebook has a lot of power. But that was already the case before this update: they could manipulate what stories a user saw, which could be used to influence a large part of their user base. I don't see this as adding that much power. It's also easier to check this mechanism than feed manipulation.
