Yeah, as soon as I saw the dead children, I was thinking "well there's your problem"

Censorship happens even on ATS.
I didn't say anything about liking it. It's just the reality of our laws and Constitution.
They protect us from government censorship - not so much private.

It is not censorship if the content of the video (opens with images of dead children) violates a company's policy on decency. If the candidate changed the images to something equally provocative but less dead children then the video wouldn't get flagged.

Pretty obvious why they would have pulled the video.
Not sure why some are surprised. This candidate is an idiot for producing a campaign video like this. Or perhaps they knew better and having it pulled from FB was part of the goal.
Makes for great publicity.

If she was a liberal democrat I'll bet you there would be no problem with it. In fact she would be praised for showing where her heritage came from.
Meanwhile Diamond and Silk are unsafe for the Farcebook community.
I don't know, it all seems so pathetic when you look at it from an unbiased perspective.

It does make for great publicity! A candidate non of us here on ATS ever heard of is now a hot topic discussion.

If you all are fine with these images, then you should be fine with someone from the left showing the images of the dead kids all shot up from Sandy Hook in order to sell the idea of gun legislation. Right?

If we can force people to bake gay wedding cakes we should at least be able to have free speech as well. I mean this is a corporation not a private citizen. Having all voices heard is good for our Republic.

Facebook is a private company, so it can do what it wants with regard to content posted on it.
Not if they get themselves slapped with an anti-trust suit they can't.
Regardless, are you for the Internet Dark Ages? Do you REALLY want censorship as the norm?
I mean some of you people are nuts with wanting less free speech.
Censorship is the enemy of a free people.
What is your solution? Force private property owners to conform to what you find acceptable? Will you use the state to force your ideals?

That's an...uncomfortable question.
I'd like to see how people respond to that.

That is true, but it doesn't matter.
This thread is just another example of the Right Wing persecution complex.
