watch Facebook censor a link to a cat video
How Facebook censors its users (using sweatshop labour to do it):
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/22/low-wage-facebook-contractor-leaks-secret-censorship-list/ What it censors: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/facebookcensorshiprules.jpg What I find the most sinister bit is that they have allowed the Turkish state to completely dictate what Facebook users are allowed to post about Kurdistan; that accounts for a large fraction of the forbidden categories. This video would be forbidden, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2ajgoK1-rE So would this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgLN9aQnZrE (ok, the poster is doing a deliberate wind-up, but the comments accurately reflect official Turkish government thinking, as enforced by tanks, rifle butts and Facebook management). This guy is not doing a wind-up. He is gently pointing out that Van cats have been in their homeland since the time of the Hittites and do not recognize any nationality, be it Turkish, Armenian or Kurdish: http://eu.kurdistan-post.eu/medya/30...-abbasolu.html which is *plenty* enough to get you labelled as a terrorist by the Turkish government. Go on, post those links to the Facebook rpca group. See what happens. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I don't have time to test them right now, but maybe later... -- Joyce Fluffy Mackerel Pudding - "Once upon a time, the world was young and the words 'mackerel' and 'pudding' existed far, far away from one another.

The implication of the first story is that FB has a completely centralized censorship system, with all content being censored the same way regardless of where it's posted from. The underpaid drones doing the work are just blindly following the rules they've been given. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
