the Nationalists came to the headquarters of Facebook with placards: “we Say no to censorship on Facebook,” “Down antypolonizmem” or “Down antykatolickim of apartheid.”
they were the flags of the National Movement, Youth Wszechpolskiej and Camps of the National Radical. On the banners were the nationalist symbols – gladioli, Brave, and phalanx – namely due to the presence of a phalanx on the websites of the nationalists, the service is often blocked their account.
Administrators Facebook in recent weeks, has removed the page of the March of Independence, Youth Wszechpolskiej Camp of the National Radical and National Movement. Blocked also profiles some of the activists. The loss was painful, because the nationalists used the service to raise money for the March of Independence that will take place on November 11 in Warsaw.
Facebook explained that this is not an organized action, but the profiles disappear after the queries of the Internet users. Some of them broke the rule that prohibits hate speech or to attack other people because of their race, nationality or sexual orientation. A few days before the parties returned to FB. Restored them after the thumbs PiS politicians and movements Kukiz, which will analyze the possibility of taking legal action against the service.
– Today, Facebook eliminated with Patriotic content, and maybe tomorrow do a whole group of people who believe in God – he spoke on Radio Maria Witold Tumanowicz companies Independence March. – This is a common political censorship, controlled from abroad. It is a violation of our sovereignty, political pluralism in Poland – convinced.
– This is also a very big challenge of civilization. We are dealing with an international Corporation that will decide what materials are legal and may appear in public discourse. In addition, this care is not subject to the same laws. We want this to be public, and therefore today’s protest, he added.
that’s what makes Facebook, is it censorship? Censorship, as a rule, apply state, not a private company. Facebook enters into the customer contract, part of which is compliance with the requirements established in the rules. These rules may not contradict the law and moral principles. And are not. We can say that the same “censorship”, for example, the prohibition to enter with ice cream in a shop with clothes, says Eva Siedlecka with “Election”.
