The article talks about how Facebook has now banned many high profile accounts, such as info wars, Milo Yinnopoulos, and Louis Farrakhan, from all of their platforms. Personally I don't care about companies taking people off of their platforms. I would prefer if they didn't but as a private business they have the right to do what they want with their platform.
This article was written during a time where many people are worked up over "free speech issues." This was written for people interested in the "inner machinations" of the Facebook goods, to inform them of why Facebook made the decision that they did. The article was written by Oliver Darcy and I see no evidence of bias affecting his work. This is important because many people feel that companies like facebook shutting down accounts that they don't like is limiting their right to free speech.
