Should Facebook Ban Sexist Pages?
#16
RE: Should Facebook Ban Sexist Pages?
Freedom of speech means exactly that. People are free to say what they like, even if it is racist, sexist, anti-gay, etc. However, Facebook is a corporation, and as such has to abide by the laws of the countries it deals with, which is practically all of them. Ideally, they should allow sexist pages, but unfortunately there are governments out there which try to dictate people's morality.

It is the same reason we don't support free speech on these forums; although I'd love for anyone to be able to espouse their views, we simply can't risk it. It isn't an issue of us censoring speech, but rather an issue of us having to comply with various governments of the world.
