If this was some tiny, barely used and largely unheard of site that had an algo that steered people toward criminal content within a couple minutes of first visiting the site, thats one thing.
For a large company to do this is a whole different category, by the sheer number of additional data points available. Here are the questions that are more applicable to this situation..
Is it new? When did this start happening? Was there an announced policy change or update that occurred as the change happened? Has it always happened? Why are more people not noticing this? Are they noticing and keeping quiet? Do your friends, contacts etc on the site see it happening as well? Is it something bizarre tailored to you specifically, or to some grouping of interests you have expressed? And so on and so forth.
That's a lot to leave unsaid and unspoken on such a topic - especially here. In any other context if you saw something similar put up by someone else, I'd hope you would also ask questions.
All you have to do is read some of the comments of this video and even one comment in this thread and you will see others chiming in, having witnessed the same phenomenon.
