I think Facebook has every right to take down the ad calling for breakup of Facebook.
- almost_usual 8y agoThis would suggest Facebook supports censorship
- malandrew 8y agoIt's an ad, not organic content posted by users. If the latter were blocked, I could see it as censorship. Should <insert name of television or radio station> news be required to run ads that are critical of itself?
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoUsers aren't paying Facebook to host their content. FB have zero obligation to continue doing so. They are well within their rights to censor perniciously and arbitrarily.
- cronix 8y agoYeah, they probably censor child porn, and other things, too. Don't you support censorship?
- stale2002 8y agoIf Facebook wants to lose it's safe harbor protections, then yes, it has the legal right to censor content. I doubt that Facebook wants to lose those protections though.
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoOf course they do, but it looks bad politically. There are a lot of things that it is perfectly legal to do, which you probably don't want to. Especially if you are a public company.
