Do you support social media censorship?

[Henrywrites]

The government of my country once made it impossible for a lot of social media users in my country to be able to use certain words when making use of some social media platforms. At a point, you can't connect to Twitter without making use of VPN. Do you support such censorship moves by governments?

I think there should be some moderation, but the moderation on Facebook is a joke IMO. I've seen too many posts that aren't harmful or break any rules get flagged and people's accounts get suspended.

I am completely against government censorship on any platform. However, if private social media wants to censor itself, I really do not care as that is their right as the owners. I feel like users need to accept that Facebook and other sites make their own terms and if they don't like them... the answer is to use a different service.

I completely agree with you 🙂
They're private platforms so the owners will always have the final say.

It can be annoying and hypocritical at times, as it’s based off of whatever political leanings the owner has.

I do agree with the Facebook automated system is pretty bad. You can get a 3 day ban for an inoffensive post, and then try to appeal it. By the time they appeal it, your ban’s been lifted.
