I don't think so. I just notice that when I post something Facebook puts a election-related warning below the post, and that seems to be correlated with visibility. So I do various things like misspelling words to stump Facebook's AI and force them to treat it like a neutral post that they don't understand. I don't want their algorithms trying to understand my content or downranking external links. I want them to play the role of blind message passing between friends.

Here's one example of what I do on Facebook. Unicode upside down, misspelling deliberately, and blocking out parts of words in the image to stump their OCR algorithms.

It's essentially the same thing one has to do to get things through the China GFW, we now have our very own version in the US courtesy of FB.
