Facebook's free speech smackdown of Canadian political discussion
While most of the focus around free speech recently has been on the Wikileaks dump of diplomatic notes and cables, Facebook has quietly limited the free speech of a popular page called 'Can this Onion Rings get more fans than Stephen Harper?'
The faceless minions who control Facebook have blocked the Onion Ring fan page from posting events, notifying fans, or adding content to the photo / video galleries.
Nobody knows why - or who - just that somebody at Facebook decided that this kind of political discussion won't be tolerated.
Despite the silencing efforts, if you search Facebook for 'Stephen Harper', the Onion Ring page comes up first (160,708) and Mr. Harper's page (37,738) comes up a distant second.
