Just to reground the rhetoric, we are talking about facebook removing posts by people that try to convince others that one of the largest genocides in human history didn't happen, not about all that other stuff.

The Holocaust was peanuts compared to the looming climate catastrophe. Thus, we absolutely must silence anyone who denies that the earth must become carbon neutral by 2040.

Nice example. Another would be abortions. If someone believes that abortion is murder, well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_Uni... gives numbers that add to 46.4 million abortions reported to the CDC in 1970-2016. Imagine if the people who held the reins at Facebook were hard-line pro-life.
