A friend of mine a month or two a go began posting "throw-up Thursday" pictures (a play on #tbt, i.e. throwback Thursday). He posted pictures of people who were drunk and had thrown up on themselves. They were pretty gross, as intended. Someone reported him, and Facebook removed all of the posts and comments referencing those posts. He began posting pictures again in protest, and they threatened to ban him if he didn't stop, so he did. I think it is unfortunate that Facebook feels the need to police content like this (especially when the content is relatively in-offensive, like some pictures of barf). There is also a block mechanism, so you can block stuff from people you don't want to see (or, you could, you know, un-friend them!). I can (potentially) see an argument being made for censoring some kinds of content, but I was completely amazed that Facebook cared about something like throw-up Thursday.
