[OLA-IF-News] Facebook bans accounts of "extremists"

[Perry Stokes]

Agree with Tony. 

Is this not akin to if I kicked extremist figures out of a house party on my property -- they’d be out, but still free to express their views from the public sidewalk? Or throw a party of their own.

It is tricky, but I think legally/morally if it is Facebooks' Platform, they set whatever rules they want.  Although I shouldn't have associated Facebook and morality in any way!

Underserved? 54% of our student body is female, 42% male.  That is 5,700 more females than males.

A tricky intersection of free speech, censorship, and combatting hate and mis-information.
