I can't understand why Facebook (and companies in general) are so eager to do whatever the government asks, even when they don't HAVE to. If they were compelled by court order, that's one thing, but that isn't the case here.
- Zelphyr 11y agoI believe its because there is such a cozy relationship between corporations and government now that its just a matter of back scratching at this point.
- Thriptic 11y agoFB gains nothing by defying the government in this case. Very few people are realistically going to be up in arms about prisoners losing their FB pages. Meanwhile a headline reading "prison gangs use Facebook to coordinate gang activity" looks really bad from a naive public relations perspective.
