On the flip side, do you want Facebook or any company to control what you can or can not say?

Do I want regulations that would prevent things that are illegal to say on one media form to apply to all? Sure. You can't just go buy a TV ad that says "blue cars cause cancer", knowing that it will drive business away from a guy you hate that makes blue cars. But I can go have that facebook ad up in 5 minutes. As part of living in a society, I am happy to cede some freedoms for a better world.

Sure: there's the idea of opposing vaccines because you want the absolute option of bodily autonomy over what gets injected into your bloodstream.

The thing about you deciding what goes into you is that it is harming other people. Your rights stop once you harm others.
