I find concerted efforts to silence political speech disturbing in general, but restricting reporting and commenting on the deaths of thousands of recognizably innocent people (children not old enough to participate in the conflict) is downright heartless. I do not want to live in a world in which opaque companies control public discourse.

I don't know of such thing as a "non opaque company".

Mastodon is a good example. Facebook could become less opaque by revealing their decision-making process for what posts are shown/suppressed, making analyses like the one linked unnecessary. It’s a bad sign when third parties are necessary to explain which content is shown and hidden on a platform.
