Norway’s Largest Paper Accuses Facebook’s Zuckerberg of ‘Authoritarian’ Censorship

A Norwegian writer penned a story about ‘seven photographs that changed warfare’, featuring Pulitzer prize winning photo by Nick Ut, ‘The Napalm Girl’, and was banned from Facebook because of it. When Norway’s largest paper, Aftenposten, reported on it– using the photograph– the fucking drones at Zuckerberg’s palace of tyranny asked them to remove it or pixelate the nudity out.

I get it. The Facebook algos are programmed to restrict nude photos of children. However, there should be some human intelligence involved here too, especially after reaching out to Aftenposten, clearly understanding the context of their story.

Facebook wrote: “Any photographs of people displaying fully nude genitalia or buttocks, or fully nude female breast, will be removed.”

Next, the little trollops at FB deleted the Aftenposten article and then went back to skateboarding inside of their offices.

Espen Egil Hansen,  Editor in Chief and CEO of Aftenposten, penned an open letter to the oddballs at Facebook, pointing out that Facebook’s decision to remove the post was inane and troubling since they’re unable to “distinguish between child pornography and famous war photographs”, as well as an unwillingness to “allow[ing] space for good judgement”.

Hansen carried on, declaring Zuck was ‘abusing (his) power’ and was “upset, disappointed – well, in fact even afraid – of what you are about to do to a mainstay of our democratic society.”

Hansen, obviously livid with unchecked rage and venom, furthered his assault: “even though I am editor-in-chief of Norway’s largest newspaper, I have to realize that you are restricting my room for exercising my editorial responsibility. I think you are abusing your power, and I find it hard to believe that you have thought it through thoroughly.”

The incessant censoring of  content on social media networks, from Facebook to Twitter, that appeals to a PC, juvenile, culture  goes a long way to “simply promote stupidity and fail to bring human beings closer to each other”, words eloquently written by Hansen in his open letter to Zuck.

Some of Hansen’s solutions include using actual intelligence to distinguish the difference between editors and the plebians. This is somewhat funny, in an elitist, holier than thou, sort of way. Hansen was also somewhat perturbed that Facebook’s customer service reps didn’t respond to him in an agreeable time frame.

Even after fully reviewing the situation, Facebook doubled down in a statemet to the Guardian:

“While we recognize that this photo is iconic, it’s difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others. “We try to find the right balance between enabling people to express themselves while maintaining a safe and respectful experience for our global community. Our solutions won’t always be perfect, but we will continue to try to improve our policies and the ways in which we apply them.”

Just a week ago, a former editor, from the Facebook News division, revealed fuckery largess had been taking place at the company, pointing to a very liberal ideology being imposed by their Orwellian thought police.

    In the end. Who gives a fuck. Aleppo is a tranny flavored coffee disease served at Starbucks. And sold on Amazon the job destroying monster from Hell. To retards driving lithium bomb autos that look really super cool. While frying wildlife with solar panels and annihilating birds with their horseshit super death fans.

    Facebook’s position is ironic because:

    1. Facebook makes distinctions everyday, many based on their own world and social view
    2. “… maintaining a safe and respectful experience for our global community…” Facebook’s own business plan may not be safe and respectful toward users.
