I don't think the USA supports that at all. They don't prosecute speech which was specifically what I was responding to.
Not prosecuting speech is not the same as supporting said speech.
Also I am not from the US. I am from the UK.
> But exporting that terrorist thread to the European Union should ban Facebook in Europe.
You premise is faulty. The purpose of facebook is not to spread any sort of terrorism. It is a social network and communication tool. This would be like blaming the phone company for mafia organising a hit over a phone call.
In this specific example it does seem they were calling to violence which is not legal speech even in the US (IANAL though). So they should be removed.
> USA here, USA there. There are more countries in the world, Facebook should take that into account or be banned.
I agree I am in the UK and I don't like silicon valley trying to impose their set of values on the rest of the world either.
As for banning whole sites who purpose is not anything nefarious because some people do illegal acts on said platform is ridiculous.
