Isn't this censoring the internet which you can't do.

No... What? How do you figure? Facebook has every right to decide what content they do or do not show on their own website. 

 

Still, fuck facebook.

Heaven forbid a company decides how it wants to be a company. Why do people think they are shareholders of Facebook now or that they are entitled to certain power over a business?

The big issue is that Facebook claims to be neutral, and while companies have a right to run their business how they want, Facebook has the most influence on the internet both socially and politically next to Google. So when a platform has that insane an amount of influence over the people, they either need to be truly neutral, or be openly opinionated or biased. It would be like google (more so than they already do) skewing search results all the way in favor of the left and never showing a single unbiased article towards the right and claiming it is utterly neutral. Most people aren't smart enough, researched enough, or care enough to take the things they see politically for more than face value. So bias or favor is fine, It is a right of any person or company, un-admitted or intentionally hidden Bias is not.
