    I thought Facebook was a “free speech platform” now that Zuck bent the knee to Trump.

      No no, we’re all misunderstanding what they mean by “free speech.” It’s not free as in “freedom”, but free as in air: you don’t directly pay them money to use their platform, much like you don’t yet have to directly pay our corporate overloads for the privilege of breathing oxygen.
