Would you rather government dictate to a private business how it should choose to run its website?

I'm not a lawyer and quickly googled it but it seems like that law prevents facebook from being liable for the speech of its users because doing so would be onerous, but it doesn't preclude them from actively editorizialing users speech?
it’s a hopeful libertarian argument questioning, i think, the point at which fb actually becomes a content provider by engaging in censorship. and if they are able to censor some (legal) things they don’t like, why not the illegal things they aren’t currently liable for.

Gotcha. Facebook right now is protected by law from being responsible for its content but now it shows that it could be held responsible for its content by actively censoring so I ts unfair for it to continue receiving gov cover for content?

Basically, yes.
