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

Some remove a 3.5mm jack, others reinstate a Pulitzer-prize winning photo. #courage
But, hey, see last sentence.

"Protecting the community by removal" "our global community" etc. There is no global community. There's 1.5 billion users, and one platform.

Facebook's business model wants simple rules that it can give even new employees on a few pages—or algorithms—to scale. It doesn't scale.
