Maybe they don't want to have, e.g. convicted rapists going on the books as 'liking' ads for paying customers

  Then they ought to make people agree to a background check before signing up for an account.

  The way American society treats convicts and ex-convicts is baffling to me. It's as if rehabilitation is not even a pretense anymore.

    Innocent until proven guilty. Never innocent once proven guilty.

      I didn't talk about innocence. I am talking about human dignity and rehabilitation.

      The plea bargain system in the US pretty much guarantees a fair amount of convicted people aren't guilty of anything other than making a very tough risk management decision.

    We are talking about current prisoners, not ex-convicts. Prisoners are generally not allowed to access social media outside the US, either. Are you saying that they should be, because it would help with their rehabilitation?

  They seem to be fine with convicted rapists browsing Facebook as long as those convicted rapists have release papers.

    So much the more incentive to not get caught next time.

      I don't think we should be relying on Facebook to incentivize people to not rape.
