Ron Paul locked out of his Facebook page

When this thread first dropped, that's what I thought too. But here's a question. Ron Paul is one of the most well known libertarian and free-speech politicians. He is being limited during a free-speech controversy. If this is indeed "just a mistake", how long time is reasonable for Facebook to find and fix this?

If it takes more than 24h - and we are approaching that - but the US is sleeping so let's allow for that, their inaction starts to look malicious.

It's bizarre in that Ron Paul likely would advocate that it's FB's platform and private property and therefore has the right to censor and remove posts, even choosing who they do "business" with. Ron Paul would likely advocate for less government and against government regulation. I want to know and hear from Ron Paul on his take on his FB situation.

You're assuming government regulation is the only solution.

When Facebook or Comcast or Google start censoring opinions they don't like, I want to hear about it on other places like hackernews so that I and my friends can use them less.
