Nice try sport. Older people have embraced Facebook, Skype and Twitter with a vengeance. The majority of people over 50 use Facebook. But I note your vain attempt to make that argument.
You might note that Facebook is aware of another statistic. The more educated one is the more likely he/she is to use Facebook.
You say you are in little danger of being banned. Google IP address.
The only politics they are interested in is any that may regulate them. Despite what Zukerberg might say, Facebook is not inviting government intervention. He sees, and he may be right, a democratic landslide in 2020. If it happens he will be in their cross hairs big time. He also knows that republican politicians see those very same young Facebook users you mention as the enemy. They are not happy about its political utility. So Facebook is walking a tight wire.
You are frightened that you might lose your access to your friends? Then lets call Facebook what it is and regulate it so you can't. You will no doubt have to pay for it and that will drop millions from the service but what the hell. Then, because it is a public utility ban all manner of content that is not fit for a government regulated media and away we go. Facebook was not conceived of to act as a political platform. Why not go back to its original purpose....pics of the kids, cute puppies and undirected advertising.
I think a lot of older people may not understand or appreciate that for many people, especially younger millenials, things like Facebook and Skype have almost completely supplanted previous forms of communication such as telephone lines.

It isn't just about business though. It's a bad political decision.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.
