      Facebook allows for content with news value but the moderation is very hit-and-miss. Price of doing it on the cheap. Too few skilled people.

      Facebook relying so much on "community policing" means that anything with a whiff of importance is attacked in an organized manner.

      Would a New York Times today—that relies so much on Facebook for distribution—put that photo with a story? Would it self censor?

      We hear of the high-profile cases like this, and they often get reversed after outcry. But this does happen all the time without notice.

      Yes, moderating 1.5 billion people is hard. But 1.5 billion users gives Facebook a market cap of $370 billion. It has to invest in content.

      It's hard if all you got is rigid rules or algorithms. Skilled editors do this all the time. http://time.com/4484905/facebook-censorship-napalm-girl-newspaper-editor-norway/ …pic.twitter.com/bbhHir6Z3j

          as @jhagel might argue, automated efficiencies have diminishing returns but a liberal arts education is more important than ever.

          I doubt most have to evaluate millions of pictures a day... do we expect Facebook to hire an army of editors? : P

          In humanities, people at least handle content(also photographs) as texts, and to read them, _before_ doing anything else with them.

          With a global, user-contributed network, not sure there is an alternative to rigid lowest common denominator rules.

          Of course there is. It's not about lowest common denominator. FB can choose more censorship, or less.

          There's actually a kind of ethnocentrism to automatic assumption that this picture's newsworthiness trumps FB's standard

          Given discretion, does FB need an editor in every local market to determine what's locally newsworthy or not? => a lot of editors

          typical for a high tech company. When stuck, just blame the algorithm, harbinger to future excuses
