Then the Supreme Court will have to decide if private websites can censor content.

Yes, but the Constitution has not.

Is Television the "press" mentioned in the first amendment?

I don't see television mentioned in the constitution, but it is understood that it equates to a modern day form of "freedom of the press."

So too does a modern understanding require people to acknowledge that the threat to freedom of speech are now these quasi governmental organizations which control mass communications and the internet.

I will quote Lincoln here.

" I did understand however, that my oath to preserve the constitution to the best of my ability, imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government -- that nation -- of which that constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the constitution? By general law life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the constitution, through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. "

So too is prohibiting censorship a necessity to preserving the organic law of the nation.

If we don't stop this, this nation dies. It's really that simple.

I sometimes have problems with the FB groups I administer.
Do you use different names when signing in? It seems sometimes a conflict between logins or improper logging in can cause problems. For a while I couldn’t post on my own groups.

If you can’t fix it have a knowledgeable geek look it over.

My problem was frustrating as hell but I finally got it working again.

Try viewing it as a ‘visitor’ and see if you can post.

Facebook has denied me access to the FACEBOOK groups I administer.

What evidence do you have of that? I wouldn't jump to that conclusion before eliminating everything else.
Operator error is most often the source of problems.
Do you sign in to your groups with the same name or do you use different names for each group?
Have you done any online searching for other reports of similar problems and how others may have solved the problem?

What are your groups about?

I can't see the connection between a power surge and your use of FB.
