Part of the issue with the comparison you're making is that the station you mention likely know what they were publishing at each point in time. Facebook is facing a situation more like trying to remove flyers in a town where everybody is putting up 3 new flyers per day.

And the part you don't mention is that Facebook is making 1000x more money than your avg TV station so it is not a problem to have them to conform to society.

  As much as I dislike facebook. The reasoning that they can pay means they should is almost defining corruption, and an easy way for a govt to get money. The problem is not one of morals, as I doubt fb wants this type off content at all. I think it's possibly unreasonable. It's fb vs the world quite literally. It's the nature off it's design. What's next? Police gets fined if they can't catch a criminal within a week? What about a fireman getting fined if he can't put out a fire within 20 minutes. All these things share an uncontrollable and unpredictable situation. You can't ignore the complex design off millions off people streaming millions of text inputs daily and checking it all 100%. That's monkey reasoning, black and white thinking fallacies. Fb should give insight and show how they battle it, but imo it's childish to randomly give 24 hours. At least come with an argument or 'standard' if u will (ie. 1 content checker person per 1k posts or w/e).

If the system is good enough for you to make hundreds of billions of some years, yes, you should expend a lot to conform with society's needs. > You can't ignore the complex design off millions off people streaming millions of text inputs daily and checking it all 100%. You can't allow a company to have so much power over millions of people just because it is difficult to make it conform and keep working. Guess what, find a better solution. The world is not 1% better with all this live Facebook BS, I'd not give a care if it was all shutdown. It is not a free speech problem if they are exploiting it for their own benefit.
