If something is “arguably” illegal, then that is what the law is for. We in fact have a very complex and refined branch of government designed specifically to decide whether something is illegal or not, and it works far better than a bunch of underpaid Facebook employees answering to shareholders and in the case of speech that is actually dangerous, it has the authority to go and arrest people.

Can Facebook remove Islamic State recruiting material- yes or no? If so, why isn't that 'censorship'?

Also please answer- threats, revenge porn, the North American Man Boy Love Association- can they be removed from social media? Wouldn't that be censorship as well?

I'm a bit fascinated by this argument that we should be relying on the government to remove bad speech- that that's somehow not censorship
