I have a question, who or what is the driving force behind censorship and PC, and why does it have so much power

Facebook is an owned site, so I guess that's their right to moderate. They do the same here on ATS, but with even more restrictions.

Cutting the foreskin off of a baby boys penis is cruel too but I don't see Christians speaking out against it in huge numbers, in fact they allow it for the most part.
This whole Islamaphobia thing is getting really annoying. If you call one religion out for something then why not other religions who do the same thing?
Circumcision in any form is genital mutilation! It serves no good purpose.

Private companies or not.
Somebody is getting real nervous about these issues.
I wonder who? and what they are so scared of?

Well all they can do is remove the post. The article states that many people have moved to a whole new level of bigotry online ever since the immigration crisis. Facebook doesn't want a bunch of people posting hatred on their site obviously, which is their right. If people want to be a bigot, then they can use there "free speech" and start saying it to people's faces.

ATS doesn't allow its members to use the f-word, the c-word, or the n-word. Nor does it allow outright hate speech threads or personal attacks on other members. It also doesn't allow nude pictures, centerfold zoom shots, and links to porn sites.
Does that mean that ATS is stomping on y'alls "free speech" too ?
Or does it just simply mean that ATS is trying to keep its site family-friendly while at the same time trying to maintain a friendly, respectful atmosphere for its members to partake in ?
If you think ATS is family friendly and has a respectful atmosphere then it could be you are thinking of some other place
Hmmm...
Infantile foot stomping ?
or
Mature social interaction ?

Gosh, it's just so darned tough to decide which is the better path for an online social media service to choose from.
