As may be, no amount of rhetoric will do anything to ameliorate the situation. If you are using someone else's property (especially if it's free), you are bound by the terms and conditions they set. A small number of people who are "outraged" by being censored for the use of currently unfashionable words or ideas, is not statistically significant. It is reasonable to assume policy is set to maximize content and revenue dollars. This means the majority of users and advertisers, influence the acceptable content. In the case where someone takes issue with your posts or comments, your access can be immediately discontinued for any period the owner sees fit. None of this should be a surprise to anyone. I favour original content over regurgitated content found elsewhere on the Internet. This means that in a measurable sense, as I write this, FB is being paid for every word I write for free. The same applies to your posts and comments. Facebook is in many ways a great tool if you use it in a deadbeat capacity (a colloquial term used to describe credit card users who pay their bill off monthly). You can use the chat feature, find out when friends are online, join special-interest groups or see news and world events not necessarily available through the news media. It makes otherwise complicated tasks really easy. It is, however, free to use only in a way that corresponds with their "Community Standards". As this group is currently public, any Tom, Dick, or Wilson can determine whether or not you can continue to use the service. I suppose you can create new accounts as the old ones get "burned", but this option shortly will also be unavailable to you. So, you can get started on creating or finding other alternatives, or you can tow the party line.
