New Facebook Rules: These Things Might Get You Banned by Surplus90(m): 8:59pm On Mar 22, 2015
Facebook has said it will remove content in
support of violent or criminal organizations. The
company also throws out the word “terrorists.”
Facebook, being an international company, will
end up being the arbitrator of which groups are
terrorists and which groups are freedom fighters.
“We also remove content that expresses
support for groups that are involved in the
violent or criminal behavior mentioned
above. Supporting or praising leaders of
those same organizations, or condoning
their violent activities, is not allowed .” –
Facebook

Which side is it ok to support in Ukraine? Is it ok
to support or condone Palestinians? What about
Anonymous, the “cyber-terrorist” collective?
Supporting the protesters in Ferguson? Russian
dissidents speaking out against Putin? What
about supporting the US military, which has been
called a terrorist organization by other countries?
Facebook has decided to become the world’s
censor. This may end up being the final nail in the
coffin of a social media outlet that has seen users
flee from other idiotic policies.
In addition to a ban on supporting organizations
that Facebook has decided it doesn’t like, the
social media giant has decided it’s time to
protect the politicians they have bought.
In a section labeled “attacks on public figures ,”
the company says it won’t tolerate “hate speech”
directed at public figures. What qualifies as hate
speech? It doesn’t say in that section.
Elsewhere in the standards it identifies hate
speech as:
“Content that directly attacks people based
on their:
Race, Ethnicity, National origin, Religious
affiliation, Sexual orientation, Sex, gender,
or gender identity, or Serious disabilities or
diseases.
Organizations and people dedicated to
promoting hatred against these protected
groups are not allowed a presence on
Facebook.”
