In principle, Facebook has never branded itself a bastion of free speech.
In practice, we've seen a lot of examples across YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter where things are blanket deplatformed under the guise of policies like these, and it's concerning.
One thing is for certain - Facebook can't possibly do a worse job than YouTube has at policing content.
