How do you feel about other criminals who have been convicted of a crime, then let out? Sure, Facebook isn't really the issue here, but why are they facing impediment to being included in society? Are murderers OK to do it? How about people who steal things?
Facebook's policy is clear; the question is whether it's a just policy, especially with their aim of building a 'global community' and the almost necessity of having a social life that has some online component nowadays in order to lead a happy life.
Facebook on its own is no big issue, but if other providers follow suit, I can't help but think it is unjust or at lesat unfair.
- aaron-lebo 10y agoI think it's very debatable whether people having online lives is beneficial to them or society. People lived for tens of thousands of years without the Internet and were happy doing so. I don't see why it is unfair that someone who has taken someone's innocence (and perhaps their ability to have a happy life) has certain privileges taken away.

They should have already been served the 'punishment' or retribution within prison, and hopefully have been reformed. Why do you still want to punish them? Do you not think the punishment is adequate? One of the aims of the prison system is rehabilitation into society. You're actively trying to stop that out of revenge?
