I have many friends with differing views. I've seen a number of people "censored" on one side, yet no posts blocked by my other friends. And the block occurs to multiple friends. In my opinion, the decision to censor isn't objective.

I don't really care to get involved with all of these current threads, but it's hard to let this one go without a comment. When we rented there various times, as soon as my eyelids were open in the morning I headed to the postal station to get the paper. Mostly for seeing the open houses, scouting various villages and an overall idea of the homes for sale.
One thing we immediately noticed though, was that the paper was pretty sparse on actual national or international news and that which they did have, was far from balanced. No problem whatsoever with me though, since it is a private business and they have the right to print, or not print, anything they choose.
I fail to see where Facebook, or any other social media for that matter, is any different in their right to run their business the way they want.
