From a moral point of view as well as from Facebook's business point of view I fully agree one should be as reluctant as possible with banning contents. But considering that Facebook already bans a range of contents, I don't think it would have been noted if they just banned holocause denial.

I wonder what they will do when a group of radical Muslims start an anti American group. Would the tone of the responses here be different then?

BTW, I think those without scruples are always a step ahead of us: the tools already exist and are used as effectively as they can get away with.

From that standpoint we agree.

Well, that will be an interesting day. :)
