Fahrenheit 451 Facebook Style
.
Here a link to the English translation of a front page article in Norway's Aftenposten concerning Facebook's censorship of one of the most famous photographs of the atrocity of war in history. Everyone who believes in freedom of expression should be concerned about this and write a letter to Mark Zuckerberg.

Those wonderful censors at Facebook have now censored Norway's Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, for protesting FB's censorship of one of history's most famous photographs of the American atrocity in Vietnam.This link is in English.

If you have a Facebook account, please get on the horn in the name of free speech!
Thanks, I posted your two articles on my FB account. A friend reposted it and her post was removed. It is very shocking to notice that a bunch of nitwits without any historical knowhow can censor anything they like.

There is now also an article about it in The Guardian, David.

Süddeutsche Zeitung has finally chimed in.
Facebook finally came to its senses after the public outcry and will replace the photos of that American napalm atrocity from the Vietnam war.Thanks to those of you who pitched in and honked your horns on the social media!
Wonders never cease! (But that doesn't make me want to join FB)

I am not on FB either! That's why I asked for help.
Thanks for attaching a link to your review of "War Porn."
