Facebook deletes Norway PM's post as 'napalm girl' row escalates

I don't get why people act like websites on the internet are theirs to say and express whatever they want. Do people realize what that little "I accept your policy" box means when they click it? Facebook isn't anyone's personal blog where they control what gets posted.

It's just egoism. Everyone thinks they are special and the standard by which all others should hope to live up to.

It's Facebook right to remove ANY image they want to. Don't like it? Don't use Facebook. Plenty of other social media sites to use.


Also, it's a photograph of a nude child. What a bunch of sick ass perverts fighting to make sure it is seen.

Feel free to point out another site that's as big as facebook. The vietnam war was probably another dark point in our country's history. Making people forget what happened is a horrible idea. Going into pointless wars is a bad idea. And everyone should know examples of it.

So because Facebook removed one picture from the Vietnam war from someone in Norway, people will forget about the Vietnam war? That doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

From Swedich news.

"Photo depicting a naked crying girl fleeing napalm bombs in Vietnam may be published on Facebook. The IT giant took back the decision to censor the image, during friday"

It is one of, if not the, most iconic photos of the entire Vietnam War. It has massive historical significance.
