@aral@valeriabet That won't ever change. That's like expecting all malls to be replaced by community owned markets. Won't happen. -
@pranesh_prakash@aral That is what I call a shower of realism -
@valeriabet@aral Uproar isn't: omg Facebook *can* censor. (that'd be foolish, as you point out.) It's abt Facebook *is* censoring this. -
@valeriabet@aral Facebook's job is to make money and to not get into legal trouble while doing so. Censorship doesn't necessarily help.
