- laughfactory 10y agoThe scary implication of stories like this is that censorship in the 21st century may not come in the form of government imposed limits on free speech, but instead from powerful corporate entities which are biased one way or another. I can easily see the potential for further political polarization as people use apps, services, web sites, and media which conforms to a narrow view of the world which confirms their beliefs. I'm glad to see that Zuckergerg didn't take the opportunity to censor in this case though it must have been enormously appealing.
