Facebook is a gigantic company trying to earn their share price. Their moderation is a liability limiting endeavor and in that capacity it's exclusively a cost center.
That's the cost of starting a business impersonating a common carrier.

I think it's time that as a society we agreed: if your "private" service replaces the public square, then you must run it like a public square. That means tolerating communists, fascists, black power, anti-black, anti-white, etc.
Please keep the discussion to how this affects Facebook stock prices and IPO or you will be removed by Hacker News' moderators.
It is strongly in N. Korea's interest to develop nuclear weapons. NK is acting highly rationally in every respect.
I simply can't handle the statements from US officials accusing Kim Jong-un of being "insane" or "irrational". That sort of nonsense is an indication that there is a propaganda story being told.
The real question is why the US keeps blustering about N. Korea and why US hawks keep fanning the flames.
US sanctions have helped NK become an insular place where reality is distorted and basic famine prevents much dissent from occurring.
There is absolutely zero reason to have any trust/faith in US leaders who are calling for the same hawkish nonsense that they did about Iraq, Lybia, Syria, etc. It simply doesn't work and it costs the US tremendous amounts of money to effectively genocide those populations with "pre-emptive strikes".
Like playground bullies, US politicians need small countries to push around to make themselves feel powerful. Sadly the real message that is being sent is that if you want the US to back off nukes are an absolute necessity.
We in the US need to realize that when we allow our leaders to do wars, sanctions, and bombing campaigns we are complicit in the massive amount of suffering those policies cause.
We should be truly confident that such policies are sensible and not get caught up in the simplistic narratives they offer us. Just say no!
Watch me make a grand jury disappear.

If telling your ISP about something you sent causes you "real financial harm", perhaps you shouldn't have sent it. Perhaps you are responsible for the "real financial harm" to yourself.
The law is designed to cover cases you might not immediately think of. Protecting men/women from "legal" harassing communication in the work place, protecting homosexual couples from discrimination, etc. eliminating such protections to stick it to nazis is, to put it mildly, naive
