Censorship by a social media platform

It is more fun criticizing

FB takes down PNA posts PDP Laban

Several posts have been taken down and accounts suspended with posts related to election by a social media platform The latest was that of a spokesperson of a Presidentiable.  One of those whose account allegedly violated community standards. was that of PNA whose post was not election related.

This account on the same platform had a sports content was taken down and reported .  I did not agre to the reason for the take down since this is post is not in the habit of throwing brick bracks at other persons or negative posts.  But it is their platform, hosting our post and has all the right to close your account.   It may be arbitrary, it may be censorship but it is within their right to make that action. Some say the take down is automated 

It is wiser to go to other platform and avoid patronizing the site.  Clearly they are suffering loss of growth and migration to other platforms which results in lower market cap and impoverishment of the owner.

Clearly not the right way to recognize the content providers and the unpaid authors of their content.

It may be unfair, but we have to tahnk the editors the censors to warn us if we are licentious and to be careful

Age of Internet Slowing Down?

Filosofo Tasio Lives

There are two recent  developments that may augur the slowdown of the the internet age:

l.  There was published announcement by Mark Zuckerberg that he will shut down Facebook by March l5, 2011, and

2.  The plan in US Congress to censor the internet. 

Hmm, less people will waste time (like me) navigating the internet for no apparent reason at all.  More and more people, especially in the US, will start working.  Less tsismis;   less lait.
