I don't think anyone is. It's their platform, they can do whatever they want with it. Facebook access is not an unalienable human right.
> Thus it follows that Facebook implicitly endorses Holocaust denialism. If they didn't, they could remove it.
They can allow something on their platform without endorsing it. Permitting something and endorsing it are absolutely not synonymous.

Hey guys, I'm not endorsing the extermination of muslims in Myanmar, I just have a bunch of signs up in my yard with messages from people who want them dead. Permitting anti-muslim propaganda in my front yard and endorsing it are absolutely not synonymous.
- lolsal 8y agoYou putting signs in your front yard is not the same as people posting content on a free service, hopefully you see that. Either way, I don't think you're really interested in discussing this, so I'm done with you. Have a good day.
- mullingitover 8y agoIt's not a "free service," Facebook is spending vast sums of money to operate their site. They're spending non-zero sums of money distributing people's pro-Nazi holocaust denial propaganda. Unlike the government, there's no law stopping them from taking this garbage down.
