Ah yes.

Facebook needs to fall in line with Twitter and others, and censor those with viewpoints i don't like and stop reporting on events the access media deems unworthy, incorrect, or out of touch.

In other words, Facebook won't censor the bad guys like everyone else, and the public is to stupid to read something and make up their own mind, so I'm leaving your platform for a better echo chamber.

It's ironic that Facebook has become the neutral platform

I agree. Should Facebook determine what is politically correct in ads? Or should a national Censor be appointed by President Trump?

It's in the nation's interest that uncensored free speech remain a vital principle.

It's up to individuals to judge for themselves what is credible and what is not.

It's concerning that Facebook's hands-off policy is so vehemently criticized while the majority clamor for them to be one of many censors of speech in America.

Well everyone loves free speech, until your speech violates a core belief and value system.

For the dems, allowing anyone to speak against their candidates or question certain values like climate change or gun confiscation, it's akin to how Muslims feel when they see someone desecrating the Mohammed or the Quran.
