>Very tired of this mealy-mouthed "free speech" refrain
Where-in nudity is forbidden but holocaust denial is tolerated. Facebook obviously allows editorial decisions to supersede profit. And they come form a very particular world view about what is and is not acceptable. A world view that is not remotely universal viewed as "free speech".
- bena 8y agoI think it's because nudity gets you banned on just about any corporate webfilter, but simple text won't.
- TomMckenny 8y agoPerhaps so, and this "freedom of free speech" is really just "that which can get through a corporate web filter". Either way intentionally of not, a particular value system is being enforced. One in which dismissing genocide is acceptable but nudist vacations are not. There are places where sunbathing naked is less of a crime than wearing a tee-shirt advocating race violence. Facebook has chosen the opposite value system.
