I think there are different perceptions on what Facebook's tool does. It could be "send to the front of the moderation queue." or, it could be "ban it immediately globally". People's perception also probably depends on how far they believe a ban applied to Facebook extends. Does it extend to NZ only, or worldwide? If I were designing this system: 1) Upon receipt of a ban request by a governmental org. 2) If legally required, immediately ban it to all IP ranges inside of that country/region - there is typically a SLA with penalties here, e.g. 1hr in EU. 3) Send it to the front of the moderation queue. 4) If it comes back marked "not allowed", ban it globally. That way, the legal bans only apply to the smallest allowed region, but we then take that as a strong hint that it might not be allowable on the platform in general. That allows us to operate in Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, New Zealand and the US, each country with different things considered "illegal speech". If some readers think this is NZ deciding for the world what Facebook publishes, they will have a very different response to someone who thinks the takedown only applies in NZ.
