We gave them this power by using their platform. They earned it from us. If they'd been given this power by a government agency or something I'd be more concerned, but at the end of the day, we the people directly decided that facebook, and not MySpace or Google plus or whatever, should have this power. And as a non government agency they have the right to modulate speech on their platform. And as long as they're modulating it in this way, by pushing back against holocaust denial, i think they're showing that they are at least competent at making these sorts of decisions. If they eventually prove not to be - well - no social media company is truly too big to fail. There's no regulatory capture or unfair barriers to competition in this space. Their users and advertisers made Facebook, we can unmake it too.
