Thank you for this refreshing viewpoint. There is great value in allowing everyone to speak their minds, and sorting out who the idiots are afterward. Freedom of speech works very well.

Paid ads are not free speech. For one, these are presented to you (as facts) with no direct channel to argue for and against. Consider that normal (not political) TV ads cannot make any wild claims about their product. Is that also limiting free speech to you??

That’s not what ads are. Facebook is letting anyone with money speak their minds. The “organic” feed is already filtered algorithmically. To counter them you would also have to spend money. Facebook gets paid twice. This seems like a very convenient coincidence of “morals” and economic incentives.
