Re: <nettime> Facebook censors 50 protest groups in the run up to the royal wedding

[Nick <nettime@njw.me.uk>]

And, of course, even if Facebook meet the demands of the
"protest page," the damage has already been done completely;
organising platforms (such as they are) were successfully
disrupted over a critical time.

The issue isn't whether one has the right to use a service
most of the time, but whether someone outside the group can
withdraw the service (or be compelled to), even for a short
time.

I'm tired of this web 20 shit.
