Before you dismiss it, follow that wormhole a little. Should amazon and wikipedia restrict armenian genocide content in Turkey? I believe this is illegal too.

Before you dismiss it, follow that wormhole a little.
Should amazon and wikipedia restrict armenian genocide content in Turkey? I believe this is illegal too. How about random blogger or small publication... should they geoblock content by country?
How about speaking disparagingly about a King? That's illegal in Saudi Arabia, Thailand & other monarchies. Should facebook do something about this?
Layer on to this the fact that FB has a near monopoly on all internet use in many developing countries through facebook zero.
At some point "just following the laws" acquires a pretty sinister smell. Content distribution isn't peripheral to what FB does. It's what FB is.
