I even previously explained what you wrote.

I was just interested how you seem to be "over" facebook because they are doing exactly what other platforms/message boards do all the time.

Except FB and twitter don't throw out pain train posts.

Completely withing their purview.

(Edit) I guess your are referring to the "getting anti-trusted" for a different reason (acquisition of other social media platforms) not for removing people from the platform.

Banning is fine in the abstract. But in the concrete the why and the intent matter. It's difficult to find positive explanation for Facebook's actions on the why and the intent fronts. What, was this week's lecture on the Constitution too radical for Zuck?

And the anti-trust fist coming at FB is over monopolistic control of market forces. If you are a local business and FB bans you for your political speech you're not just prevented from forwarding stupid images to other people's friend feeds ... now you're cut off from business referral via Facebook as well. It's a real problem.
