What do you think about Facebook censorship rules? (publica)
Which group is protected from hate speech? female drivers, black children or white men? The correct answer: white men. Post left up about Muslims;" “Hunt them, identify them, and kill them, Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all." But the following was removed; "“All white people are racist."
I use Facebook only for business purposes, so I don't see a lot of the kind of thing you're talking about. Even so, my thought is that if Facebook is going to use censorship rules to protect any group, it kind of makes sense for Facebook to protect ALL groups.
I don't find any censorship necessary. Facebook already has rules to let you control what you see. They have an easily-accessed button to report offensive content, and they also have blocking features.
If you don't quite want to block someone but no longer to see updates from them, you can also simply unfollow them.
You asked what I think, I don't care. I don't use FACEBOOK.

Okay I get it, it's your site so you make the rules, but nothing stifles creativity more than censorship. I suppose there are other sites where one is free to express themselves and maybe one day, I'll find one. I just think that the marketplace will self regulate content a lot better than a...
