"It's not censorship! It's not a free-speech issue! It has nothing to do with the first amendment or freedom! They're a private company! If you don't like it just don't use Facebook (or Twitter, or Youtube, or Google, or Gmail, or...)"
Do you get it now? Are you starting to understand? This was always going to be the end result. A world of information controlled by the powerful, where encyclopedias, dictionaries, and history books flex and bend with each new re-writing of reality that becomes necessary to protect their interests. Yesterday, we were never at war with Oceania, and claiming we were would get you banned. Today we have always been at war with Oceania, and saying so is perfectly fine. What new reality will we wake to tomorrow? And why is anyone who isn't obscenely wealthy still defending these people?
