Even though Facebook is not prohibited by law from censoring the speech of their users, they have a moral obligation to not do so. Cracking down on speech is never the answer to problems where we need to have more discussion. It only shows that we care about that speech enough to block it, which motivates them to cling tighter to their beliefs.
I am all for individuals blocking other individuals or groups, but when something is blocked from the entire community without their consent, it falls under unwanted censorship. We do not want to limit free speech to just the majority opinion.
