Ultimately, these sorts of issues are due to insufficient diversity.
As long as there is a majority (or perhaps even a large uniform
minority) who believe something strongly, there will be businesses or
government policies that cater to this majority. Whether government
representative or business leader, the thinking goes that restricting
things that are disliked by the majority will be beneficial to one's
position as politician or business leader. The people who complain
about the restrictions are outnumbered or outweighed by those who
support the restrictions. And even among those who do not support the
restrictions, many will tolerate them because it is not important to
them.

In order to fight this sort of thing, you have to change the majority
opinion. Good luck with that.

An alternative is to support fringe or niche groups that do not
believe in such restrictions. That is difficult with something like
facebook, where much of the utility of the service comes from having a
large, mainstream network of people as members.
