Recently I posted a comment on a BBC article using my Facebook ID. The comment was critical of Islam and suggested that what the Chinese are doing in Sinkiang province might be an effective way to combat that.
The comment got about 50 likes before being deleted by Facebook as Hate speech. I complained but the decision was endorsed within about a minute.
Apparently I am not the only one. Hundreds of Facebook checkers are employed deleting comments. One German user recently sued Facebook for deleting comments critical of Germany. The post was restored.
My questions are these:
1) Since evangelism and criticism of other religions ( not accompanied by threatening behaviour) is not illegal why are these people deleting posts?
2) Should an American company be allowed to delete German posts that break no laws.
3) How can freedom of speech be protected from hate speech algorithms and over zealous leftist activists working for Facebook and the BBC amongst others?
