"Speech and publication mean something very different from what the US founding fathers meant. It’s a very laddish argument..."

"... which is not to say that women may not also support it: but the fact that Facebook relies on it means they are not listening to women and to an alternative perspective that women may put. That’s the real issue here. Facebook needs to start listening to women. No joke."

You lose control of your writings once you hand them over to a 3d party like Facebook or Google... and not just because the government can get to it.
