Facebook Preemptively Censors Dying Man’s ‘End of Life’ Ceremony
Facebook said the event was banned under their “suicide attempt” policy.
Facebook just doesn’t seem to get it.
They are a social media platform that derives its entire existence from the content of its users, while then also data mining their enormous customer base in order for advertisers to better target them. Facebook would simply not exist if it weren’t for this unique and authentic content.

Facebook used their blanket policy on “suicide attempts” to condone their censorship of the broadcast, despite Cocq’s intentions that this be a protest of what he felt was an unjust situation.
