Just making it clear that it wasn’t about freedom of expression or speech. True freedom of speech would mean keeping these even if it made other people uncomfortable.

I agree with you, but true free speech also gives Facebook the right to choose its own themes. I’d vote with my feet on this one, but I already abandoned Facebook years ago.

Oh I know, it’s just that they said they’re removing moderation for “free speech” and then remove one of the ways you can express themselves. Just hypocritical.

For sure. Any social media company that says they’re pro free speech is just posturing at best. They have full dictator control of their systems.

Facebook’s free speech, not yours.

Yes. I don’t have any guaranteed speech rights on Facebook.

I am well aware. However, it’s a bit misleading to rebrand yourself as a free speech platform but limit the speech you don’t like.
