Sure it does. FB is a communication platform that adheres to the principles of free speech or it isn't.
Here, they are demonstrating (among other times) that they do not believe in free speech. It is their right. Just as it is their right to collect user data and resell it.
They have a right to suck and be evil.
- duxup 8y agoI belive in free speech, I won't host just anything on my site(s) either. Do you have to host other people's content, anything, to belive in free speech? I don't know what you mean by free speech at this point.

- duxup 8y agoYeah I get that argument, I read the ACLU post a while ago I belive, although I think it is overly simplistic and ignores some serious ramifications. But that seems like an entirely different argument than your idea of "free speech". Related, but not the same.
- arcseco 8y ago>ignores some serious ramifications. The ramification being that some people my choose to understand the world differently from you. The answer to that worry is to make compelling points in your favour, or maybe try to understand the other side of the argument. Freedom comes at the expense of security, and security in this instance is overstepping its boundaries.
