In contrast, as one reads through the Facebook materials, one finds the same kinds of problematic guidelines we faced when dealing even with what one might imagine are relatively simplistic questions. and whether the actions of state versus non-state-actors constitute abuse or legitimate self-defense and so on. Threats against “Zionists” are prohibited, but no mention is made of followers of Islam who may be threatened. In fact, the Facebook guidelines offer multiple examples of threats of extreme violence against women reaching to the level of murder that are entirely permitted by the company under its official guidelines. Looking at just the examples of wholly permitted violent speech in Facebook’s official guidelines, it is astounding just how much of a toxic and threatening environment Facebook’s guidelines permit, all while the company publicly condemns online violence.
