hilarious stance from some of the VGC users here.

Why should Facebook be different in that regard from VGC? Here you can't say everything you want either. This is a moderated place and it needs to be since it's public.
Also you're forgetting that this is a crime in Germany and other countries and has been for decades. Not much different from say posting child porn.

I have different standards for Facebook and VGC because they are different platforms with different audiences and with a different history of censorship. Apples to oranges. While I recognize Facebook's right to censor content, I will decide not to use their website if they started to censor at a large-scale effort. 

Except child porn actually involved the action of child molestation/rape to produce, while expressing anti-immigrant sentiment does not mean you are enacting what you say or feel. The real equivalent would be if the government started to get involved if somebody declared oneself as a pedophile (but not one who harmed.) 

But openly admitting that you're a pedophile is not a crime in itself. Incitement of the people on the other hand is (in Germany and some other countries).
Someone who "merely" owns and posts child porn also isn't accused for the child molestation but for owning and spreading the illegal media (=information).
And that is again very comparable to the topic.
