I really don't think the primary criticism against the Facebook decision is a "loss of liberty" or to do with censorship..
People don't write articles and start awareness campaigns when their naked pictures get taken off Facebook. The problem is that Facebook treated the picture of a child with a birth defect as 'offensive material' and people found this decision to be insensitive - this same kind of insensitivity was the foundation of Cali's joke.
