Please, do clarify what they meant then.

As I see it, they suggested that removing content denying the Holocaust was telling someone what opinions to have on the matter. The Holocaust is not a matter of opinion, it is a fact.

I think potential for harm to others is probably more of a factor than truth for these types of bans, though if they ban flat earther groups then I will reconsider my statement.
thank you for saying this.
Care to quote where he made any quote regarding the history of anything at all?

He was criticizing facebook for their views on censoring content. All the bullying in the world does not make criticizing facebook holocaust denial.

Also I'm Jewish, no need to convince me the Holocaust happened.

Goodness. No need to quote them. They're responding to an article _on that very topic_ and framing it as a matter of opinion.

If it was meant to be some general snark about censorship then so be it, but the execution was poor and you're being quite disingenuous in claiming not see any connection.

Have a good one.

Seeing as the holocaust was an enormous industrial operation i'm going to image there are many details about it that can be debated. But now that conversation cannot be had because fb will always take the side of the more abhorrent fact. Anything less is denial.
