To me, it feels more like Facebook selectively facilitates the crimes of some and polices the crimes of others. There's names of people in the public Congressional record that you cannot put in any post in any context. The 2020 riots were coordinated on FB. According to the White House press secretary, the WH sends lists of people to Facebook to censor who did not commit crimes. If you are successfully opposed to the regime, for example popular voices against US criminal actions regarding Ukraine, you get nerfed. Azov Batallion was previously banned from FB because they are literally Nazis, but ever since the government started giving weapons to these Nazis you can praise them without concern you will get banned.

  No, Facebook banned them because they were literally Nazis. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Regiment#Neo-Nazism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Regiment#Neo-Nazism: > The Azov Battalion has been described as a far-right militia,[60][16] with connections to neo-Nazism[214] and members wearing neo-Nazi and SS symbols and regalia, and expressing neo-Nazi views.[58][215] > The group's insignia features the Wolfsangel (or a mirrored variation of it),[216][217][218][219] a German heraldic charge inspired by historic wolf traps adopted by the Nazi Party and by WW2 German military units. Its insignia also used to feature the Black Sun,[220][221][222][211][209] both of which remain two popular neo-Nazi symbols.[210][194][220][215] Azov soldiers have worn fascist or Nazi-associated symbols on their uniforms,[223] including swastikas and SS symbols.[23] In 2014, the German ZDF television network showed images of Azov fighters wearing helmets with swastika symbols and "the SS runes of Hitler's infamous black-uniformed elite corps".[224] In 2015, Marcin Ogdowski, a Polish war correspondent, gained access to one of Azov's bases located in the former holiday resort Majak; Azov fighters showed him Nazi tattoos as well as Nazi emblems on their uniforms.[225][16]
