> If you don't like Facebook's actions then don't use it

That is akin to if you don't like it, then leave, which is just a way of avoiding potential solutions to the problem. See ergo decedo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergo_decedo

Why not just tell users that Facebook does not endorse or condone any specific user content? No one blames Verizon if someone uses a racist insult on the phone...there is precedent for users grasping how a common carrier works.

Of course this is all about advertising. Advertisers want to be associated only with dull, bland speech. This is also why network TV is so bland.
