Or they don't like the costs for moderation and believe in free speech.

Come on, Zuckerberg never designed FB with freedom of speech in mind, it started as a campus thing and transformed into a money printing machine, he may or may not care about freedom of speech but it's irrelevant, it's nowhere near the top of facebook priorities.

"Freedom of speech" is the new mantra you have to repeat if you want Americans to stop thinking about a problem.

Censorship and propaganda are the tools to limit thinking. More speech = more thinking, not less.

But yeah, would agree that "freedom of speech" wasn't a design pillar or anything for FB.

> More speech = more thinking

This is as true as saying "more code = more programming" -- possibly a technically correct statement, but if your goal is to create something valuable (to your business, to society) this won't help.
