There's a difference between opinion and facts/lies. Opinion is fine, but when someone is spreading an objective lie (the earth is flat!)... that's where it seems like this is a cop out for Facebook to pretend they can't get involved due to "free speech". Sure, let people share opinions, but not lies and misinformation.

Who should adjudicate what is an is not a lie? Twitter’s response is basically “we don’t want to be the ones to do that”

Same way it works for newspapers and tv and radio.
