America's founding document might be too politically incorrect for Facebook, which flagged and removed a post consisting almost entirely of text from the Declaration of Independence.

I understand that Facebook is a private entity/company and entitled to have own internal guide lines of managing the contents of expression/code of conduct, because they operate within public domain.

...but they are in for the money not the political speech.(at least that's what i think) So, Joe Sixpack signs up and tries to make some cash with politics of the day. Gets shut down for bogus claims flavor of the day. Correct me if I'm wrong(I refuse to have a Facebook page), Facebook is making money from all the monetized pages and assorted corporate advertising on said pages.

Now, that been said me thinks that Facebook operating in public domain and for profit should be subject to federal/state regulatory system like any other business entity including freedom of expression.

Just as a side note, when I see that Zuckerberg (Sugarmountain) creep, it remainds me of all my unpaid bills.

You are probably right there. Somebody that puts links on their pages (and their are a lot) didn't like it, I guess.
I think FR is probably the only site I know of that truly *is* in it for the political speech and not the money. ;-)
