I'm not going to answer such a question pretending you are a 3 year old that really doesn't know how media + government collude and operate to control society.

You are incapable of seeing how it poses a threat to freedom of speech when all major media combined call for censorship? There's no point for me to engage in a discussion with you.

I'm sorry, but I think I'm asking a different question.

I'm not asking about whether Facebook can engage in censorship. That was addressed by you here:

> A private company censoring the content on their platform is not a violation of freedom of speech

It's not, but a third party forcing FB to censor or me to shut up is censorship.

I'm asking how a third party (someone other than Facebook or the government) can force Facebook to censor.

I think figuring out how to create a constructive online community is an important and complex issue. It's not as simple as letting everybody do whatever they want. And limiting what can be done includes limiting speech in some way. How you do that in a way that's not censorship is a legitimate question.

You've veered off into conspiracy theory and name calling. Nice.
