Not agreeing or disagreeing, but, conveniently, that change would heavily encourage online places to sort in ways that are probably better for users anyway.

Though I'm sure you could still sort based on interactions. E.g., "you always like this person's posts, so this person's posts are higher in your feed" is content-neutral.
