What’s worse, Facebook’s bans or government regulation?

On Thursday, Facebook decided it had had enough. It banned several accounts that it labeled as “dangerous” from its platforms. The prominent far-right or anti-Semitic figures booted from Facebook and Instagram included Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, and Paul Nehlen.

Although the move brought plenty of criticism, including from Donald Trump Jr., Facebook is a private company, and as such it can absolutely enforce its terms of service by banning people. That’s a right that self-described freedom advocates should support rather than attack.
