Facebook is not the legislature. You can make Lessig-style Code Is Law arguments, but the fact remains they are not defining the bounds of legality, they are defining the bounds of acceptable on their platform.

Yeah, everyone already knows that. Facebook can do what they want. But they can't claim they support free speech at the same time they censor their platform.

If they came out and said "Facebook does not support free speech on it's platform", then at least they'd be hoenst.
