Not everyone wants Facebook to be imposing its notion of community standards on their online discourse. Right now, Facebook is the only social network, so if you want to reach people, you have to play by Facebook's rules, no matter how arbitrary and culturally-imperialistic they are. If there were a plethora of social network, you could reach people while maintaining the norms of your community, even if those norms were opposition to the US.

There's no such thing as cultural imperialism. It's an imaginary concept.
The people who don't want Facebook to impose its community standards outside the US usually just want to be able to impose their own community standards on others. They're no better than Facebook. Why should anyone care what they want?
