I don’t think Facebook constitutes free expression. Ideally, I’d like to see a decentralized protocol which Facebook, Twitter, and even Parler can build off of.

But while Facebook does not constitute “true” free expression, it does allow a very large number of people to voice their opinions that will lose their voice in its absence.

And I wonder if the people steering the algorithms are or are not overwhelmingly against Modi (they hate him). So really, this issue does not look that cut and dry to me. There are many confounding issues here that should be addressed, but countries frankly should defend themselves against Facebook.
