After reading some of the comments.. I'm surprised on the amout of people that's OK by censoring elected government officials that represent a portion of the population.. How happy would these same people be if their government representative was silenced . Russia anyone ..

Censorship = government prohibits or punishes you for saying something. Facebook = privately owned platform to which account users agree to terms and conditions of use. He broke the T&Cs of a private platform so they deactivated his account = not censorship.
