I concur with Dennis Prager's assessment my friend LTC (Join to see) that Freedom of Speech and expression should apply to Facebook and Google for that matter
"During arguments before the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Prager University, a nonprofit that produces bite-size explainer videos promoting conservative ideas, argued Google’s YouTube violated its First Amendment rights and misled its users when it limited access and demonetized dozens of its videos..
It will be interesting to see how the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on this. They tend to lean to the left and that might tee it up for a Supreme Court review next year.

Whether I am in favor of it or not is a moot point since it happens regularly and has for centuries and will continue into the future.
Since the government has been taking property for centuries for various and sundry reasons [wartime exigency in Civil War, WWII] and more recently local jurisdictions taking property to build more profitable for the local coffers buildings, you pose a somewhat odd point. Capt Gregory Prickett
Every month businesses go bankrupt, people are evicted from homes, and corporations file for bankruptcy protection. In some nations nationalization of assets takes place [that happened to my wife's family in Cuba when Castro came to power in 1960]

The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. constitution that limits the power of eminent domain. "The taking clause requires the entity to pay just compensation on taking private property for public use." This is limited to the federal government.

He is right. And there isn't any other place to view these. They happily support all kinds of garbage but educational material about our constitution and rights, not so much.
