I'm not sure the popular objection to this would be that FB is doing it, it is that they say they are doing it based on some kind of objective or at least shared principle and facts, with some kind of negotiable condition, and I think that is what many people would consider outrageous. FB should just say, "we're against him and we're exercising our own discretion and prerogative." The bureaucratic worldivew expressed in press releases like this are what created the populist movement that supported him in the first place. Who cares what oversight process this went through if it is just internal bureaucratic theatre to insulate the individual decision makers, and with no national legitimacy? FB is pretending it doesn't have responsibility for the power it is exercising. Zuckerberg & Co. should just say, "L'internet, c'est moi" and be done with it and try not to contemptibly hide behind words nobody believes. This relentless miasma of bullshit is what people see as totalitarianism, not their coastal opinions.
