> What is maybe interesting to users is that there are people at Facebook who think it isn't right for the user to self-censor, that it apparently robs Facebook and your "friends" of the value in that self-censored post.

This is FUD. Facebook has a large data science team that publishes lots of studies on online behavior [1]. These are academic, peer-reviewed research papers. Insinuating that FB as an entity thinks that "it isn't right for the user to self-censor" is unfounded speculation.
