And so freedom of expression slowly gets chopped away piece by piece with “the best intentions”. If freedom of expression weren't “offensive”, at least to some people, it wouldn't need to be protected in the first place. And, whoever decides what can or can't be said at FB doesn't make that decision based on a democratic process.

In a certain sense, our freedom of expression is intrinsically chopped away by reliance on private platforms with no democratic control and no authentication of content.
