facebook speech absolutes?

Do yourself a favor before you talk in absolutes concerning free speech on a network that claims it has codes on conduct. Install the graffiti wall application and draw a nice picture of Hillary Clinton in a pant suit getting sodomized by an Asian guy. then alert all your left wing feminist friends and see how fast your account disappears. for an example of the type of accounts that facebook has refused to delete

http://video.seesmic.com/videos/S4zsTmT2Ur Barry Chuckle “i hope theres jews on that plane when it blows up”

it is very sad that people spend so much time on a social network without checking the terms. facebook has a policy already of censorship. I’m not asking for censorship of twitter that has no such policy. bias against Jews here is disturbing if you are already aware of the terms. obviously a private company is capable of doing as they please. that is not the issue. the issue is that facebook has terms that they ask us to uphold and they selectively enforce for example pornography or hostility towards women, but further the causes of Nazis. if facebook wants to enforce such rules as no nudity or Gloria Steinem rhetoric then they are already creating a code of conduct. this is merely enabling hate speech towards Jews arbitrarily. it is orchestrated prejudice. check the facebook terms if you don’t believe me. there is also the matter of anti trust considering the size of facebook it infringes on the public.

For those that question my free speech credentials… I spent much time at Carnegie Mellon University petitioning the college to not censor the internet of pornography in 1994 and the activities of myself and our organization made the Village Voice, Time Magazine, Newsweek as well as the NYTimes. I have newspaper photos and clippings of the event against Martin Rimm from the year. look up Martin Rimm on the internet. It was myself who petitioned the college and designed all the signs. I’m not asking for censorship…. I’m against arbitrary enforcement of terms. that is a very different thing.

…and speaking of arbitrary terms. facebook employees use fake names. just thought you should know that as well. many activists against hate crimes on the internet also use fake names and facebook went out of their way to destroy their accounts and left up Barry Chuckle. Barry Chuckle is obviously not a real name. they ask any Jew online if their name is real, but any NAZI they leave alone. This is selective prejudice. very simple. this is just more Obama culture… and we are going to throw these people out of power. not just in government, but in social media.

Arbitrary Tolerance from Brian Cuban

Brian Cuban never really defined why he would allow the ISNA into dialog and reject theJIDF. he only attempted to pull rank by claiming that JIDF is one person. wrong: this blog is associated with @theJIDF. unfortunately Brian Cuban Turned Off the Commenting.

Chomsky’s Ravenous Bugblatter Beast

if the person who quoted Chomsky had read anything about Chomsky they would know there isn’t anything systematic about language according to the axioms of Chomsky. Language doesn’t have meaning through systematic method. you can’t prove or disprove semiotics. it is simply understood. to be so obtuse and dry as to pretend that meaning is a mathematical science because you quote Chomsky is an immediate sign of bias. I have asked facebook to be true to free speech for years now. Now I am humbly asking them to at least to be socially responsible with their supposed “discretion”. the fact that they are neither and are in conflict with their own terms is a good argument for AntiTrust laws to be used. I disagree with the expansive mindset of facebook, but the argument is that they are supposedly creating a better environment for communication. enabling hate speech is in conflict with their own arguments. I happen to disagree with their claim that they can censor, but now it seems even their censorship is random and hate based. we would love for facebook to have free speech! what we have instead is populism. facebook caters to the tyranny of the mob. that isn’t freedom. What has happened is Holocaust denial has become hip enough that facebook is allowing it. In the same respect nudity has become culturally taboo in a majority of circles and therefor facebook censors it. In the same respect Jewish Conservative groups go down all the time. for crying out loud! how is this free speech? if facebook wants to enact a policy of free speech I would support it, but if they are not then it is the users interest to influence facebook into responsible behavior.

Your policy says that you will use discretion. That would mean warning me privately before you pull my profile out of existence in front of 400 friends and business associates. You have not been discrete at all. You have revoked your own policy. If there was outrageous behavior, I should of been informed what is was before this public libel. Somehow I get the feeling that facebook is reacting emotionally. You are not objectively following policy. Further you are putting my community into hysteria, because you are making assumptions of personal nudity, drug use or physical threats. Please answer promptly! If there is a drug using naked person in my house that is physically threatening that I don’t know anything about, it might be a good time to tell me.
