While google and facebook enjoy an ad based revenue advantage, they are only small players in the overall "public square". In fact WordPress is much larger than them in terms of content management services.
Fair point. As long as these groups can set up their own websites and not have them blocked by ISPs or other intermediaries like they are talking about doing in the UK then losing access to Facebook is no big deal in my book.  I am still concerned about the number of people cheering this move on without even thinking about the broader implications. For free speech to mean anything people must be free to say obnoxious things. The only limit should be incitement of violence and those determinations should be made by a court - not a random company that happens to control access to the public square whether it is FaceBook or ISPs or whoever.
