Now that it's been established that Facebook can do what it wants here, I don't think it's such a great idea for them to host this stuff on their site.
Facebook is a popular networking tool, and allowing this kind of stuff there obviously helps grow the deniers' ranks. Remember that even if it's automatic, Facebook is actively putting resources into hosting and serving these posts. You might say they just host everything and it's not like they're picking and choosing what to host, but if they can employ hundreds of people to find and remove breastfeeding photos and the like, they can regulate this as well.
Upon seeing an anti-Semite somewhere preaching his or her bullshit, there's a difference between leaving him or her alone in recognition of free speech rights and providing the idiot with a megaphone. Facebook is doing the latter.
