Chick-fil-a Vs. Facebook Vs. Free Speech

I saw a post earlier on facebook that claimed that people should support Chick-fil-a since facebook apparently banned any page that was in support of the chicken company.

Now, this may not actually be the case, but in the event that it was, I have to wonder where the outcry for injustice needs to be.

On one hand, facebook provides a service just like a restaurant--and as far as my knowledge goes, restaurants aren't legally able to refuse service to someone just because of race, ethnicity, gender, creed, or sexuality.

...shouldn't a company like facebook also be legally obligated to this right of service?

Also, this begs the question: where the f*ck do you find the evidence of this!? (re: facebook shutting down a fan-page because of their beliefs)

In any case, I don't support shit-fil-a, but I'll be god damned if someone is going to be censored because of their beliefs.

They have every right to express their opinions just as much as we do to deny them our business.

BECAUSE AMERICA.
