This is key. The phone company is a common carrier, and can reasonably claim not to discriminate.
Facebook's entire reason to exist is to introspect on, and discriminate between, messages you send through them.
I look at it this way: If FB wouldn't influence the content that you're looking at - e.g. they wouldn't go on fire if someone posts a nude photo - then it were alright to deny responsibility as they'd merely provide infrastructure.
If, however, they do discriminate content they don't like then, given their sphere of influence, they have to be held responsible I think.
