> This post makes it seem like Facebook subscribes to the theory that hiding unpleasant content prevents terrorism, and that there is universal global agreement on what counts as terrorism. Terrorism is a label that is applied to any violent attack performed by (most of the time) non-state agents these days, where it should instead be used on situations where the perpetrator's intent is to instill fear on the population and get recognition on the media for their political agenda. With this in mind and taking aside the ethics of it, not showing or at least not exaggerating news about terrorist attacks could be a good mitigation strategy (the general media would certainly do the opposite though). Personally, my take on this post is just PR for Facebook.
