I never mentioned no sides so I'm not following you here; but to answer to your argument even if the government gets control of FB and decides to silence some group I support (e.g. homosexuals) and therefore I disagree with such decision I still would prefer that control of a main communication platform to be in hands of the government and not random executives, in such case my focus (and people's) would be to have a less homophobic government where at least my vote counts and not some random execs that I have no minor influence upon.
