The main underlying "evil" of censorship is that it obscures the truth and rallies people behind ideas that aren't accurate, ideas that also have some upside to another party. It's weaponized information essentially. That's where Facebook finds itself already. The utter amount of garbage facts that then color people's perspective -- falsely. Facebook is then left to choose their reality -- do they want to try to fight off this crap even if it means potential controversy, or do they want to endure ongoing controversy over what they could be doing. There's no winning so they have to choose how they lose. They're also not a government, so, their duty in all of this is pretty minimal. If Facebook takes action and it's seen as less trustful in regards to news, I have to think they'd be okay with that. Who cares. At that point it's not their problem, go somewhere else for unbiased news. At least they don't have the active problem of being a clearinghouse for false facts.
