Facebook/such corporates have global platform for social media for profit. It has good&evil sides.Freedom of speech cannot include to spead evil.There is no global law regulating this social media platform. It's unfortunate,that face book is deciding which is good&evil as judge.

Those flat earth guys too! And antivacsers, moon landing deniers, vegetarians, and everyone still denying science which is every religious post.

Wow, no wonder 20 something percent of New Yorkers thought it didn't exist. No wonder teachers have to work harder at teaching students

Mr . Zukerberg always looks like a naughty young boy man . He does not look like he has grown . BJP4India PMOIndia

Better late than never.

Bold.

Chief Holocaust denials is still up and tweeting here. khamenei_ir

Facebook finally does the bare minimum. Neat.

Hallelujah🙏
