Facebook is performing an editorial function on the information they distribute by removing content that is not illegal. They're a publisher, it's as clear as day. By stepping into this role they should forfeit any exemption from liability[0] for the content that they publish. I'm sure that they pay a bunch of lobbyists to distract lawmakers from this fact, but they won't be able to escape it forever.
