Because Facebook already controls what people say and see on their platform. But they choose to use that power to censor boobs and show you whatever will provide the strongest response.
- AllegedAlec 9y ago> they choose to use that power to censor boobs Do they, or are they forced to do so? And as I said: I don't like Facebook. I think they're shifty and probably do have an agenda. However, it's untenable to attempt to force them to censor anything that a government doesn't approve of, or hell, society doesn't approve of. Facebook has 2.2 billion active users which make post 510,000 comments, update 293,000 statuses, and upload 136,000 photos per minute. It is impossible for a company to go through all of them in order to censor those which break whatever law of the country it was posted in.
- matt4077 9y agoDo you really believe it’s illegal to show breasts on the internet?
- AllegedAlec 9y agoOn the internet? Difficult question. In certain countries, to people below a certain age? Certainly.
- pjc50 9y agoOn the one hand you're saying that facebook are effectivly "forced" to censor nudity (which may actually be legal in some jurisdictions), and then you immediately say it's "untenable"?
- AllegedAlec 9y agoI don't see why stating two facts, namely that governments want facebook to do something (for example Germany forcing Facebook to censor what they consider hate speech) and that this situation is untenable is in any way contradictory.
