Facebook and censorship

[Beardsley]

It's a heated debate in Norway at the moment, including the prime minister and media top guns.

 

Background: One top journalist posted that famous Vietnam War pic of the naked, little girl running with huge napalm wounds on her back.

 

Facebook first censored the pic, comparing it with porn. When the journo re-posted it, he was then blocked for 24 hours. Facebook also refused to discuss the matter with said journo.

 

This has now turned into Norwegians posting the pic as a protest on their FB accounts.

 

I'm sure Mr. Zuckerberg couldn't care less that a tiny country as Norway protests about freedom of speech, so I wonder if there have been similar cases in any of your countries and if so, what was the outcome of it?
