I was making a very pedantic argument. It can simultaneously be true that Facebook is guilty of censorship, and they are in the legal / moral right by doing so. I have complex feelings on the topic, but that most accurately describes my position.

I'm not saying Facebook is infringing my rights (I explicitly meant to say the opposite). But I do feel strongly that they are guilty of censorship, in the literal sense.

They might be in the legal right, sure. But you're never in the moral right if you're guilty of censorship.
