And to take this further: it also means that there should be no right to public assembly, because you can't moderate what's said there either.

No, not at all. The argument is that since Facebook moderates their site according to their own arbitrary standards, it's not a place for public assembly but a publication that Facebook is responsible for as if it were a newspaper. If they did not moderate, it would not apply.
