, an architect in Syria’s war-torn city of Idlib, the message was devastating. “Your account has been permanently disabled for not following our Facebook Community Standards,” read the note from the social-media giant. “Unfortunately, we won’t be able to reactivate it for any reason.” Fourteen years of family photos, reminiscences and his diary of Syria’s civil war—along with his list of 30,000 followers—were erased. Mr Bitar had tried to be careful. He had not called dead rebels or posted gore.
Size is part of the problem. Facebook has 2.7bn users, many of whom write in foreign languages. Their posts are vetted for hate speech and incitement. But the firm’s 15,000 content moderators struggle to cope. Most do not know Arabic and its dialects. So the firm relies on automated filters, which make mistakes. They screen flagged words, but cannot detect cultural nuance or satire. Facebook rarely explains why it deletes content.
Arab governments have passed laws against cybercrime and online terrorism to cow social-media firms and their users. Facebook “tries to comply” with local codes. It has opened an office in Dubai to liaise with officials in the region. “Digital platforms try as much as they can to collaborate with regulators to avoid the consequences of violating local regulations,” says a Gulf official. Dissidents concur.
This a low stoop for the economist jumping on the bandwagon. Facebook is a business and doing what they do has made them what they are. When is censorship right and wrong ? We are now in a new space of digital Mob Justice. Lets break anything successful

Does not look good Mr Zuckerberg when you bow to foreign despots but refuse to monitor hatespeech and socially damaging messages at home. Makes me think DJT is pressuring you to leave it for his base. ?
FB is massively bend towards a certain communication
Arab despots dont buy FB ads
We can write our Arabic language in Latin letters and it varies according to the dialects of the Arab regions, which is difficult for Facebook to understand 🙃
Facebook are accomplices to police murder. Fuck Facebook.
