Hitzige Debatten: Protest- und Gegenprotestseiten bei Facebook
Die folgende Erklärung ist eine offizielle Antwort der Firmensprecher von Facebook auf eine entsprechende Anfrage von SPIEGEL ONLINE:
"We want Facebook to be a place where people can openly discuss issues and express their views, while respecting the rights and feelings of others. With now more than 400 million users from around the world, who have varying cultures and ideals, using Facebook as a place to discuss and share things that are important to them, we sometimes find people discussing and posting about topics that others may find controversial, inaccurate, or offensive.
While some kinds of comments and content may be upsetting for someone - criticism of a certain culture, country, religion, lifestyle, or political ideology, for example - that alone is not a reason to remove the discussion. We strongly believe that Facebook users have the freedom to express their opinions, and we don't typically take down content, groups or Pages that speak out against countries, religions, political entities, or ideas.
When dealing with user generated content on global websites, there are occasions where content that is illegal in one country is not (or may even be protected) in another. For example, Nazi content is illegal in some countries, but that does not mean it should be removed entirely from Facebook. Most companies approach this issue by preventing certain content from being shown to users in the countries where it is illegal and that is our approach as well.
We are very disappointed with the Pakistani Courts' decision to block Facebook without warning, and suspect our users there feel the same way. We are analyzing the situation and the legal considerations, and will take appropriate action, which may include making this content inaccessible to users in Pakistan."
