This was a mistake on our part. In the process of dealing with a routine trademark violation issue regarding some links posted to Facebook, we inadvertently blocked all mentions of the phrase "lamebook" on Facebook. We are committed to promoting free expression on Facebook. We apologize for our mistake in this case, and we are working to fix the process that led to this happening.
> inadvertently blocked all mentions of the phrase "lamebook" on Facebook.
Inadvertently seems to imply that this was not voluntary, more like the result of some "misclick". Is that so? Are there such powerful control tools at Facebook which use is not under strict review? If it was inadvertent, I think there ought to be serious policy revision regarding the use of these big brother tools at Facebook ;)
That is really nice to hear. What is the stance, then, on said 'free expression on Facebook' regarding the filtering of mentions of torrents in the FB Messaging platform?
Is this protected expression? Or will the FB Messaging platform filter content based on an automated perceived risk of copyright violation etc?
Is the official policy regarding free expression, and what constitutes free expression, that one (without a Facebook account) may read posted anywhere easily accessible?
