Wait a minute. Zuck, a Jew himself, is saying the Holocaust denier ads are okay-ish?
Edit: note that (1) paid ads are not free speech and (2) while you can say what you want, a commercial entity has no obligation to amplify your voice.
Also ads are “special” on Facebook. They show up on your wall whether you want them or not, while normal content from your friends goes through an algorithmic sphincter. In a sense Facebook is already limiting the free speech of normal users by putting their speech through some kind of “engagement” black box. Meanwhile, if you have money, you get to say whatever you want to whomever you want.

There is great value in allowing everyone to speak their minds, and sorting out who the idiots are afterward. Freedom of speech works very well.
This seems like a very convenient coincidence of “morals” and economic incentives.
For one, these are presented to you (as facts) with no direct channel to argue for and against.
Consider that normal (not political) TV ads cannot make any wild claims about their product. Is that also limiting free speech to you??
