If this is true in your experience, you ought broaden your horizons on the topic. If nothing else, there are certainly plenty of complaints about facially-reasonable-ish policies being implemented in an insane and incoherent manner — like when Facebook or Google take down "extremist content," but it's like video archives of extremists intended to be used to fight war crimes and bring their perpetrators to justice. e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/facebook-algorithms-are-making-it-harder/588931/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/facebook-a...

Of course Facebook censorship is insane and incoherent. But pretty much no widely publicized complaint about these ever says "Facebook censorship is insane and incoherent, so Facebook should stop censoring". They just want to be the ones in control of the censorship instead.

  If you don't moderate content, everything turns into 4chan. And for those two want that, 4chan already exists.

  One example of allowing everything is the mass murder of New Zealand mosque that was live streamed on Facebook, do you say that something like that should be allowed and Facebook cannot censor any content?
