The word "blame" normally implies that something bad has happened.
Exactly!
"So, sorry we'd love to help you astroturf the EU elections, but those pesky laws are stopping us."
Exactly this. This messaging is for their customers, e.g. those that buy political ads, and their investors, those that want line go up regardless of how. They aren't speaking to their users. Their users are part of the product they sell.
Bots and troll farms are not impacted, though. I don't expect this will lead to better politics.
