I think GP is trying to say that Facebook routinely takes the stance that they shouldn't be the arbiter of acceptable speech. So it's notable that they are actively policing speech in this instance.

Facebook-the-product doesn’t want to be the arbiter of acceptable speech for the whole world.

Facebook’s HR department does want to be the arbiter of acceptable speech for facebook employees communicating with each other inside the company.

These are quite different situations, IMO.
