Their moderation policies are already highly country-specific though? Why does FB need to ban anything globally?

- robertlagrant 4y agoSure. I may have misphrased my previous explanation, but "country" is still far bigger than "community".
- theptip 4y agoI see what you mean. Yes, I agree, it’s in some sense suboptimal for a community to outsource moderation to a larger entity. However I think moderation is difficult (and this fact is under-appreciated) and so the limit of “perfect moderation per community” is probably not practical. (Indeed I’m not even sure that’s a possible thing, since each community member might disagree, even though there are emergent norms at any given time within a community.)
- robertlagrant 4y agoAbsolutely, and those norms are best enforced by that community. I feel like I'm describing a social network I should be building. Or has already been built.
