I have no trouble believing this of Facebook; that said, I find it frustrating that he could very easily be seriously misrepresenting what triggered this block, and still be "honest" about this report. More direct quotes from his posting history would help a lot.

Note that Facebook isn't saying they blocked him for that most recent post; more likely that something in that comment triggered a human review of his history, and that review concluded that he should be blocked.

Now he's asking us to evaluate that review (ok, good) and consider the repercussions of Facebook's overagressive filtering on free speech (sure) but this is very hard with only a 2-line summary of what he posts about in his account, and no direct quotes.

I do think this is a likely a completely legit complaint; but it's still very open to the risk that his style of posting was much more noxious than he represents.

(Alt: maybe if he posts too much detail, then the conversation veers into discussing those details rather than the free speech issue, which is more important than his single case).
