This is ridiculous. Facebook bans photos of nursing mothers. The average person already doesn’t have the “right to free speech” in the absolute sense on Facebook. So why does Facebook moderate hints of nudity but not holocaust denial? It’s a choice. That’s not to mention that most other ad companies would refuse to run a holocaust denier ad.
Also ads are “special” on Facebook. They show up on your wall whether you want them or not, while normal content from your friends goes through an algorithmic sphincter. In a sense Facebook is already limiting the free speech of normal users by putting their speech through some kind of “engagement” black box. Meanwhile, if you have money, you get to say whatever you want to whomever you want.
