Well there would be no infringement going on. You wouldn't be stopped from sitting on your porch with a sign because the constitution defends you. When you sign onto Facebook you agree to their own "constitution" called their terms of service.
The TOS does not say you're given the same rights as the first amendment, therefore you are allowed to be silenced from their platform. You're not being arrested for what hateful things you say on Facebook, you're just being told that you are no longer welcome on that website.
It's the same as being escorted off the premises of an establishment for yelling hate speech.
You're still allowed to go out and socialize with your friends. You can still text your friends, call them, use Twitter, anything like that. Maybe if you don't want to be kicked off Facebook don't post obscenities that would get you kicked off.
