- H0n3sty 10y agoThanks. That answers my question.
- danielrhodes 10y agoIt's not anti-immigration posts that cause an issue, it is posts that contain racism and incitement of violence. Those posts have real world consequences, and are of questionable value when it comes to civil discourse. Thus, Facebook doesn't create a chilling effect if they censor those things, which is why they are cooperative.
