The article does not talk about censorship but privacy. That a corporation uses data to sell advertisements has nothing to do with personal expression and censorship.
We can have a discussion about censorship when it's relevant. What has to do your comment with the post?

Some governments might not want FB to do this. So FB are lobbying them to allow them to violate privacy. Might it not, therefore, also be the case that FB will do other things to allow them to violate privacy? And one of these things might be censoring politicians who want FB to respect privacy.
