You are essentially arguing against “innocent until proven guilty” and implying it’s okay for a global corporation to take a public stance against a minor before his court case is even finished. Deleting only the content suggesting he might be innocent will significantly affect public opinion, regardless of the final outcome of the case. If it turns out he is innocent then this is going to be the Nicholas Sandmann situation all over again.

Their platform, their rules. Vote with your dollar, support their competitors, etc. Facebook isn't the judicial system, though, and it's ridiculous to even imply it is.

First were talking, "innocent until proven guilty," now were talking public opinion? You're confusing the judicial system for hearts and minds.
