They are probably just following legal requirements though?

Specifically with Gab, it wasn't a legal decision. They were "Taking a stand against hate speech".

I can’t believe all of these corporations that are actively pressuring Facebook to suppress free speech

WE should be out burning and pillaging holdings for that stance.

Who would have thought Facebook of all platforms would be the one to hold out the longest?

(at least to some extent.)

I think they might have a motive. Scanning data on their platform and selling it to political groups regardless of the group’s political affiliation would be mad profitable.

Facebook has been censoring since ages. They have even employed Soros funded organisations for censoring duties. Now they pretend that Facebook is not censoring enough when we know it's the opposite. Sounds like a staged situation.

That's odd because Soros ain't a fan of Zuck.

This organisation called "Ellinika Hoaxes" is funded by Soros and has censoring duties on the Greek side of Facebook. There are plenty of articles (in Greek) on that matter.
