>Facebook might give everyone the same text box to write posts or upload content, but they need to answer for HOW and WHY they recommend certain content over other types of content.

It seems that Facebook's "crime" is not censoring people enough and not not their reccomendation algorithm was configured to boost an opinion the article's author did not agree with. Since the problem is with the contents I see it as relating to free speech.

>Even in the US, where freedom of speech is protected in the Amendments to the Consitution

While the constitution makes it hard to write laws that limit speech the US does not have full freedom of speech.
