Facebook...perhaps not entirely "right on".
Ooops! Seems like Mark isn't happy with every type of free speech.

This has been happening a long time, with groups such as the hacktivist group ANONYMOUS & Wikileaks.

I might not like those groups but they do have the right of free speech and by removing there pages just gives them publicity for free

There is NO right to free speech on facebook or any other 3rd party website. Facebook is private property and as such they can decide what speech to allow or not. If people want free speech online they will need to setup their own website on their own server.

Well 38 Degrees is still up..So not every activist group has been a target.

Exactly ,people also forget that Facebook is a money making corporation not a public service ,it is only there to make money ,why would they allow anti capitalist activists to further their cause on that site .

Re: Facebook...perhaps not entirely "right on".
Is there any evidence Facebook has done anything to these groups?

Re: Facebook...perhaps not entirely "right on".
So it's possible this is all a case of people with an agenda jumping to conclusions?

A Facebook spokeswoman explained that the profiles were suspended because they had not been registered correctly and denied that the removal of pages was politically motivated or instigated by law enforcement concerns before the royal wedding.
Facebook accounts that claim to represent individual people but are in fact groups or organisations contravene the company's "statement of rights and responsibilities".
The company said a number accounts were suspended at the same time.

Re: Facebook...perhaps not entirely "right on".
So at this point is appears that yes those pages were suspended but so were others. Some will shout "conspiracy!!", others will say "nothing to see here".

Indeed ,all the activist pages need to remember that they are breaking Facebooks T&C's so don't have an argument really ,and as has been mentioned it is a privately owned site and as such can shut down what they like and have whatever content they like within the law ,as indeed this site can
