My personal belief is that Facebook shouldn't be trying to censor speech this way, it's impossible to be (or appear to be) impartial. The people who are booted off just go to their own corner of the internet and never have their ideas challenged.
But to answer your question, https://www.facebook.com/kathygriffin/ https://www.facebook.com/kathygriffin/ comes to mind (with the beheaded Trump photo).
- nickthegreek 7y agoThe kathy griffin image was a twitter post, not a facebook post. And while that was not a good post, that was a single incident. I don't think it would be correct to put Kathy Griffin and Alex Jones in the same bucket.
- sleepybrett 7y agoAlso clearly art, not a threat, not misinformation. In bad taste, probably. Not a call to action.

The article didn't really say, but I assume the bans are considered based on all their activity, not just Facebook. > And while that was not a good post, that was a single incident. The Convington Catholic School thing was another issue. Probably worse in that it was kind of a call to action: https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status/1086932616392011776 https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status/1086932616392011776 I think comedians especially should get a lot of slack, but I'd say this fits the bill for being "dangerous" based on the article. My point is that this won't be viewed as being fair no matter what Facebook does, and rules like these allow you to easily target basically anyone. I don't know the answer, especially when you're an international company. I do think it's going to cause more political animosity though.
