Zuck does not use his medium to spread anti-Islamic content. Charlie Hebdo did.
Here what Zuck did was uphold a nation's choice to block content in that country that did not conform to the views of that country. It has NOTHING to do with Charlie Hebdo.

- nashashmi 12y agoIf the government was chosen by the people (as is in the case of Turkey), it is the nation's choice. Otherwise, there is little indication that the people of the nation choose different. And it is not a political decision as the verdict came from the courts.
- TelmoMenezes 12y agoIf a "nation's choice" is over what individuals are allowed to see and read, isn't that just an euphemism for fascism? What possible ethical principle could lead someone to assume that the collective has the right to decide what an individual can read?
- Squarel 12y agoI am not sure, what possible ethical principle leads people to censor words and pictures which they deem unsuitable in any nation?
- kyleblarson 12y agoThe 'organized ignorance' that is religion is exactly the principle you speak of.
