actually, this is a pretty interesting move by facebook. * If they put themselves in the position of "guardians of morality" they will be steamrolled by the amount of content on their platform. Good enforcement would cost billions, automated methods suffer false positives and negatives. * Putting themselves in that position also makes them responsible for the content on their platform, opening them up to lawsuits and sactions. * Failure to enforce results in being banned from countries altogether. the alternative, which I haven't thought of before now, would be "fine, here's some admin controls for your countries. Now you can hire some people and moderate content as you like". This seems like a pretty brilliant move. No longer are facebook responsible for bad moderation, each government is. FB also save themselves a ton of money. Will this be better or worse for consumers in the end? I'm actually not sure. There are actually some valid upsides to delegating moderation to the governments of the world.
