No. It's more like someone who advises people on responsible liquor consumption, and then gets barred from the liquor store. And also FB threatened legal action against the creator to remove the app, which is outrageous. Using the liquor store analogy, it's like the Liquor store then seeks to coerce the advocate to stop publishing advice on responsible drinking, because the owner of the store wants its customers to get sloshed 24 hours a day. It's simply not right.
While Facebook has a right to bar someone for inappropriate use of its service, Facebook has no right to bar someone due to advocacy work being done outside of it (and the Unfollow app just helps people do what Facebook itself allows its users to do, that being to unfollow friends and groups without unfriending them -- it's not encouraging anything illegal).
Facebook is a monopoly. It should be better regulated. Its actions are completely irresponsible.
