When well-defined rules include "content that the government wants to suppress because it criticized them" the rules provide censorship via moderation.
In this case, Facebook - presuming what they did was "follow the rules" - is following censorship rules.
So perhaps the thread should be about the US government forcing companies to censor free speech for them.
