Indeed, I think the problem with Facebook, is that like Television it is not anarchic enough.
A society with free speech is supposed to tolerate the expression of really bad ideas partly because nothing other than the consent of human minds lets society distnguish good ideas from bad.
But no particular organisation has a duty to be a forum for all ideas. And that's why it's OK to kick a racist out of your dinner party, and OK for reddit to try and censor its worst users. But when such organisations are main forum for conversion, then the censorship starts to look total.
