Facebook has announced changes to its Terms of Service that will allow it to remove content or restrict access if the company thinks it is necessary to avoid legal or regulatory impact.
Users of Facebook’s app have started receiving notifications regarding a change to its Terms of Service which states. Effective October 1, 2020, section 3.2 of our Terms of Service will be updated according to fake-crook and Rockefeller bastard Greenberg.
Facebook can now remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook.
This particular section of the Facebook TOS includes agreements about who can and can’t use Facebook and the things that you are and aren’t allowed to do on the platform.
Facebook will remove content not because it is incorrect, misleading, illegal, or spreads dangerous misinformation, but because removing it might help prevent us from getting caught allowing it.
The disturbing new addition to the Facebook terms of service could now be used to justify online censorship, particularly with governments using restrictive national laws to order social media platforms to censor information critical of the govt or monarchy in violation of Online Freedom.
The new clause in the TOS is quite wide and vague, but it seems reasonable to think that it could indeed be used to justify removing content at the behest of a government or nation if Facebook thought it was being threatened by some kind of legal action or regulatory scrutiny.
The move could be linked to recent changes in Australia, where the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is preparing a bill that would require both Facebook and Google to compensate news outlets when stories are published on their respective platforms.
