Facebook police walk the beat | Social Barrel
Facebook chief executive and co-founder Mark Zuckerburg says his website helps bring people together, and makes the world a better place, but this has to be balanced against other online activities like harassment or bullying. When Zuckerburg’s vision of an internet utopia where we all come together and get along falls short, Facebook’s virtual police squad are put to work.
Facebook’s role in the ongoing debate over free speech on the internet was underscored last week after important government and company websites like PayPal and MasterCard, viewed as hostile to Wikileaks, were attacked by hackers. Wikileak supporters put up a Facebook page in order to organize hacking attacks. Facebook took down the page saying it violated terms of service which prohibit content that is pornographic, threatening, hateful, or incites violence or illegal acts. However, Facebook did not take down Wikileak’s Facebook pages.

Do not take for granted free speech protect it, and do not allow bullying, pedophilia, racism, hate, threatening violence or illegal acts in the internet.
