You're using speculation and a one-sided determination about publicly available information being harmful to justify censorship. It is completely unreasonable for an organization as large, influential, and powerful as Facebook (or Twitter) to censor ideas from one half of the country due to the biases of their employees and leaders. And yes, it is a meaningful impediment to dissemination of ideas since virtually all our society's conversations today take place on platforms owned by big tech companies. Our fundamental rights to free speech have been eroded by outsourcing the public town square to these companies that act in discriminatory ways. It's time to break them up, treat them as utilities, and regulate them heavily to uphold principles of free speech
