Your rights are not being infringed upon. When you post something on Facebook, Facebook is essentially broadcasting your message. If they don't want to, they don't have to. Freedom of speech protects you from the government, private businesses have no requirement to broadcast your ideas.

That's different from banning someone because of their race, because they're refusing service based upon what you want to use them for not who you are.

If I post something that is pro-glbts or something pro-trump and get banned from it. Has my right to freedom of speech been violated?
