> I don't think it's the business of a company to set the standards of communication world wide. Facebook isn't setting the "standards of communication world wide." It's a privately-held company headquartered in the US. If it doesn't want ayatollahs in Iran posting virtual "death to America!" chants, it doesn't have to let them post them. If Facebook moderates content in ways that authorities in other countries don't like, but Facebook doesn't actually have a physical legal presence in those countries, that's basically tough luck. Realistically, those authorities have little choice but to accept it, block Facebook or find a way to convince Facebook to give them what they want.
