Oh, never mind. Facebook doesn't actually believe in free speech.https://twitter.com/facebook/status/1017477296943349760 …

FB as a private enterprise doesn't have an obligation to promote free speech. The issues with"fake news", 1) MSM who cry it to stop competition. 2) Sites like FB who will use outcries to clamp down on it in the US to justify letting foreign governments censor content abroad.

I don't care whether Facebook in fact currently has a legal obligation to promote free speech. Facebook *should* promote free speech due to both a [future] affirmative obligation to promote free speech and feelings of personal responsibility to promote free speech.

They should promote free speech. We can't force them to do it and ultimately the market will decide Facebook's fate. The whole fake news thing is being used to shut down competitors to the MSM and as way for Facebook to justify silencing dissident voices in oppressive countries.

We literally can. There's absolutely no reason monopolistic social media platforms couldn't be required by law to provide a politically neutral service with a presumption of free speech.
