Facebook is worse than state-controlled media in those countries, and they have a moral obligation to stop doing business in oppressive countries. People know that state-controlled media is biased, but oppressive leaders can demand censorship from facebook at whim and nobody knows about it.
And i would not be surprised if bribes inside facebook are involved , as some of those countries are known to run extensive bribery operations e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_laundromat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_laundromat
- SSLy 6y agoI live in one of those countries (Poland), and certainly the state-controlled media/energy/industry conglomerate is worse, thank you.
- cblconfederate 6y agoBut you know that it's state-controlled. Would you say that facebook in Turkey is not state-controlled, even though it s not branded as such?
- nradov 6y agoDo you have a list of which countries are oppressive and which are not?
- cblconfederate 6y agoMany are listed in the article itself.
