Facebook is censorsed (as are Google, YouTube and Twitter), not only on grounds of copyright or indecency, but because certain ideas are deemed as unwelcome on the network. For example, posting about false flag attacks.[1]

Technologies
Censorship on Facebook combines thousands of human modifiers with software that automatically flags up content based on content (e.g. keywords) and/or user behaviour (e.g. many shares in a short space of time, users flagging it themselves).
"Fake News"

Since late 2016, the phrase "fake news" has been used to try to justify censorship of material.
Hidden censorship
It is unclear to what extent Facebook hides users' posts from one another. What is clear is that:
- They have this capacity
- It may be difficult to assess
Forbidden topics
In 2017 Facebook banned Caitlin Johnstone for 3 days for posting an article about false flag attacks. As a result, she posted a piece entitled I've Been Banned From Facebook for Sharing an Article About False Flags.
Limitation of access to Facebook
In 2015, the EFF reported that in the South Carolina prison system, accessing Facebook is an offense on par with murder, rape, rioting, escape and hostage-taking, with one inmate receiving more than 37 years in isolation for the 'offence'.[2]

Integrity Initiative/Leak/3 | “Find ways to remove e.g. RT/Ruptly video and infographic content from corporate media e.g. newspaper websites, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Such content is quite professionally done, entertaining and cheap (or even free) for cash-strapped corporate media outlets. But for these reasons, this kind of content gets numerous ‘clicks’ and is therefore picked up by reputable outlets that help spread Russian disinformation.” | Victor Madeira | 16 March 2018 |
