> So nix free speech

1. It's Facebook, not the government 2. They aren't banning anything

How is this a free speech issue?

No OP, but free speech is an ideal, unlike the first amendment which applies to the government.

It's still not a free speech issue.

The question is how Facebook should order news sources/articles. They're suggesting changing their strategy. This isn't anything like censorship.
