The internet is not a protected platform, you do not have a right to free speech on other people's websites. The 'safe harbor' excuse that Cloudflare is known for using isn't going to cut it, and Facebook sees the writing on the wall.

If you think deleting viral lies on the internet is censorship, then you're really not going to like how social media is going to develop over the next 5 years.

To be fair, it is literally censorship. It isn't government censorship, but it is a body of people making decisions about what topics and ideas are not allowable. I see a danger in that, and you are right — I'm not going to like the direction social media and communication in general seem likely to go.
