From the article:
The Intercept has reviewed a snapshot of the full DIO list and is today publishing a reproduction of the material in its entirety, with only minor redactions and edits to improve clarity. It is also publishing an associated policy document, created to help moderators decide what posts to delete and what users to punish.
Facebook puts users in a near-impossible position by telling them they cant post about dangerous groups and individuals, but then refusing to publicly identify who it considers dangerous, said Faiza Patel, co-director of the Brennan Center for Justices liberty and national security program, who reviewed the material.
The list and associated rules appear to be a clear embodiment of American anxieties, political concerns, and foreign policy values since 9/11, experts said, even though the DIO policy is meant to protect all Facebook users and applies to those who reside outside of the United States (the vast majority). Nearly everyone and everything on the list is considered a foe or threat by America or its allies: Over half of it consists of alleged foreign terrorists, free discussion of which is subject to Facebooks harshest censorship.

So the Intercept's position is that Facebook shouldn't censor Al Qaeda or The KKK

Complaining about a business denying terrorists their free speech is a bold take...
