Frankly, Facebook doesn’t need to censor. They just need to rein in their algorithm that promote posts to people’s feeds. Watching the shorten 60 minute’s interview, I get the sense that’s the main problem.
The algorithm promote stuff that maximizes “engagement” but the unfortunate side effect is that it sow division, reduces social trust, and creates civil unrest - among other side effects.
Facebook’s own internal research has pointed out the effects of what they are doing.
There aren’t laws against what they are doing but they should probably do a course correction - and laws can be created real quick.

Not to mention Snowden. Strange.
