So Facebook has banned EDL, BNP and Britain First.
Is this censorship or a welcome banning? | | | |  |

Censorship.
Scum post scummy things, you can counter and destroy the arguments. I would however caveat that by pointing at times some facebook pages become such sewers you can't reason with the posters.
There does need to be a point at which pages get closed, people get banned. Finding that line is a tightrope. | | | |

Will the equivalent left wing pages be banned? | |

I would have thought so.
Out of interest did you have in mind? | | | |

Agree its a fine line.
They are not banned politically speaking, as parties that is so not sure how/why FB came to that decision. I am neither condoning nor welcoming the ban. | | | |

Well, if they are an extremist group and are in some way the same as the BNP and those others then arguably they should be banned.
To be honest its all getting a bit crazy! This Brexit mess is like petrol to those arguments and discussions at the moment. | | | |

To start with, how about the groups those criminals posing as 'Eco protestors' in central London were using to communicate over the past few days which caused disruption to hundreds of thousands and endangered the lives of themselves and others? | |

Working from the premise that the three organisations listed in the OP are formally registered it should follow that all their media output would fall within the law. Agreeing or disagreeing with anything they say doesn’t come into it, if you value freedom of speech you must oppose censorship. End of.
“Ah! but they’re wrong ‘uns.” Maybe so, but this is setting an extremely dangerous precedent, that gun isn’t fixed. Think about it. What’s to stop, say, major oil companies buying major stakes in online platforms and looking to silence environment protestors?
It’s the slipperiest of slopes, folks. | |

How are they criminals?
The point of protest is to get maximum coverage right? Therefore it was successful if it caused the disruption you speak of. Now, the disrupted (and wider audience) are a little more aware than they were before yeah? And that is a good thing right?
As for endangering lives...you obviously live a sheltered life in your bedroom, you ever been to London?
I know it can be a pain the proverbial but this was a just cause no doubt. And, some of the comms I've seen looked harmless. | | | |

Totally agree! | | | |

I wonder if this is the handiwork of one Sir Nicholas Clegg? | |

I agree. Or non-dom billionaires buying newspapers to distract attention from efforts to crack down on offshore tax havens. Perish the thought. | |

On the same day it is revealed Facebook copied 1.5M email addresses and passwords. | |

Hmm, one other factor is BNP, EDL both are dead in the water; Britain First just had leaders convicted. Arguably all three are incredibly soft targets. | | | |

Whats the problem with copy email addresses? Details please? | | | |

Yep all of them combined could probably only muster a few hundred votes at best.
I don’t do Facebook or twitter hardly at all but from the snippets that are posted on here and on the occasions that I have ventured into it out of curiosity it just seems like a massive left wing echo chamber where they all prattle on and argue in a desperate attempt for likes and retweets.
Not too dissimilar to here really. Perhaps I should sign up? | |

So their leaders are criminals? Who would have thought it! How do they compare to the criminals DYSS mentioned? | | | |

I wouldn't bother HJ. Its sh!te!
Left wing echo chamber? Poor show HJ. Remember the brexit mis selling and their FB campaigns? | | | |

Nope I don’t. Like I said I barely go on there. But it seems to be infested with people like that bloody Jenn with their degrees in intersectional feminism trying to tell other people why they are abusing their privilege and being guilty of cultural appropriation and therefore racist by putting reggae reggae sauce on their chips. | |

I found this quote from today that I found particularly interesting, Bluey:
”As reported by the BBC, chair of the Home Affairs Select committee, Yvette Cooper, has described this ban as being ‘long overdue’ as well as a ‘necessary first step’ First step is the gag, what’s step two do you think? Gaol for ungoodthink?
For those of you who know your Huxley this is precisely the process he foretold as “Hypnopaedia.” It’s happening right now, we’re watching it play out.
Cooper, in case you’d forgotten, was one of the figure at the centre of the expenses scandal. She had dug her jaundiced claw into your back pocket to the tune of over £650,000. | |

I think her and Ed Balls were both Ministers on £140K, they combined their allowances for a second home in London although they shared one house.
The cronyism of the political elite. | |

Hang on, i was replying to your first post where you said email addresses COPIED right? Nothing about mining, manipulated etc.
I asked you what the problem with Copying email addresses, especially those on your platform? Focus on that and not something you didn't post or say. | | | |
