Facebook is a private company, and the privilege of having gratis access to someone else's broadcasting platform is not a tenet of free speech.

- drak0n1c 6y agoAs a private company with their own free speech, Facebook is also free to enable the speech of controversial participants, regardless of whether you like who they have been enabling. That is free speech as much as their later choice to disable it. If you do not like the corporation's policies, you are free to criticize them, much like how this article and American politicians of both parties like to do. This is all free speech.
- Inityx 6y agoRight, we are in agreement here; the person I replied to insinuated it was unethical for them to disable anyone, as it would be a violation of free speech. As you have just explained, it is not.
