The people who want Facebook to not half-ass being a publisher and the people who want Facebook to stay neutral are different crowds.

I think one could conceivably both criticize FB for enabling the spread of false info and for their censorship via fact-checking.

The argument would be that FB optimizes sharing false info, and the proper fix is to either get rid of it completely, or fundamentally change it. Not tack on some "fact checking".
