My take is that Facebook is a private corporation and they should be able to do whatever they want regarding moderation, whether that be less or more. However.

My take is that Facebook is a private corporation and they should be able to do whatever they want regarding moderation, whether that be less or more. However. I see people arguing frequently that Facebook is the new de-facto public square. I disagree with this position, but assuming for a moment it's true, this is the thing that shouldn't be allowed. In my mind it is akin to a shopping mall that has grown so large that it has taken over the entire country, and if you're a citizen of the country you have to follow the rules of the shopping mall which include not being allowed to wear T-shirts with political slogans (or worse, only certain political slogans). If I lived in that shopping mall nation, I wouldn't be dithering about what t-shirts were allowed or disallowed; I'd be arguing for the destruction of the entire shopping mall.
