Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has called for more regulation of harmful online content, saying it was not for companies like his to decide what counts as legitimate free speech.

The Facebook founder urged governments to come up with a new regulatory system for social media, suggesting it should be a mix of existing rules for telecoms and media companies.

It's too expensive for Facebook and does not generate any revenue, but only bad PR because of the censoring, so naturally Zuck wants to offload these decisions to the governments. Sure he would not want tighter regulations for the (ab)use of the users' most private and personal data for advertising, profiling and sales, because that is something completely different.
