They can hear the drums- they may go on an equal-opportunity censorship kick, though with the polarisation of media, once you've banned the conservatives, and then the liberals, you've pretty much got bugger all left.
This anticipates a 230 reinterpretation. Currently, posting libel or incitement on FB isn't bannable as FB isn't exposed, legally. If they want to keep censoring us (and they really, really do), they will have to start proactively banning a whole host of other things, and introduce some sort of rapid-response legal takedown mechanism a la Youtube. Costly, and will potentially drive people to 230-covered competitors.
