Monde arabe : quand Facebook censure les femmes "dévoilées" Dana Bakdounis, jeune militante syrienne, a publié sur Facebook une photo d'elle-même sans son voile, dans le cadre de la campagne "je soutiens le soulèvement des femmes dans le monde arabe".
Quelques jours plus tard, le réseau social retire la photo sans explication. Récit. L'Orient-Le Jour 9 novembre 2012 | Partager : S'inspirant du "printemps arabe", une campagne a été lancée le 1er octobre dernier sur Facebook incitant les femmes à se soulever pour défendre leur droit à l’égalité. Le groupe, formé des Libanaises Yalda Younès et Diala Haïdar, de la Palestinienne Farah Barqaoui et de l’Egyptienne Sally Zohney, demande aux participants d'écrire, sur la page Facebook "The Uprising of Women in the Arab World", un message débutant par "Je soutiens le soulèvement des femmes dans le monde arabe" et se poursuivant avec les raisons de cet engagement. Au texte est ajoutée une photo de l'auteur du message. Facebook censors abortion tips.
Social media website Facebook has removed an image published by Rebecca Gomperts, the founder of pro-abortion organisation Women on Waves.
The offending image contains tips telling women how they can induce an abortion using medicine. Facebook says the material contravenes the website’s conditions of use. Women on Waves has issued an angry response to Facebook’s decision. Rebecca Gomperts explains “The image shows a sticker we designed with information on how women can abort safely using a drug called Misoprostol. The text is based on information and research by the World Health Organisation.” Nirvana's 'Nevermind' Album Cover Removed from Facebook. Twenty years later, Nirvana is still managing to cause controversy.
The band, whose Nevermind album made waves when it was released in 1991 because of its cover art which featured a naked baby boy floating in a pool, has run into censorship yet again, this time on its Facebook page. PHOTOS: Hollywood's Twitter Feuds After product shots of the album (which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall) were uploaded to Nirvana's Facebook page, the social networking company removed the photo citing a violation of its Terms of Use.

STORY: Amy Winehouse Joins Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin in the '27 Club' Facebook bans Nirvana album cover – then says Nevermind. Facebook can't seem to decide how it feels about nudity on the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind.
The social networking site reportedly removed – and later replaced – the artwork in its page for the 1991 album, initially finding the cover photograph violated the site's terms of use. Although one of the most iconic album covers in rock history, there is no getting away from the fact that the Nevermind sleeve features a baby in the buff. That 20-year-old controversy was revived this week when Facebook removed the image from the site's official fan page, according to the Hollywood Reporter, citing nudity.
"[Facebook] sent us a form message," a source told Entertainment Weekly. The downside of Facebook as a public space: Censorship. Facebook Blocks All Pirate Bay Links. At the end of March The Pirate Bay added new functionality to reach out to millions of Facebook users.
Just over a week later and the world's largest social networking site has blocked all links to torrents on the world's largest and most infamous BitTorrent tracker. It was less than two weeks ago when The Pirate Bay implemented a new feature making it easier for site users to post links to torrents on their Facebook profile, so their friends can download those torrents with just a single click. The entertainment industries were not happy with the new feature, but since The Pirate Bay is not exclusively used to spread copyrighted material, there wasn’t much they could do about it. Facebook users responded positively and many began posting torrent links in their profile. This integration of the world’s largest tracker and the world’s largest social networking site generated hundreds of news articles and excitement.
Any message containing a torrent URL, like this one, is blocked. Facebook’s E-mail Censorship is Legally Dubious, When The Pirate Bay released new Facebook features last month, the popular social networking site took evasive action, blocking its members from distributing file-sharing links through its service.
Now legal experts say Facebook may have gone too far, blocking not only links to torrents published publicly on member profile pages, but also examining private messages that might contain them, and blocking those as well. “This raises serious questions about whether Facebook is in compliance with federal wiretapping law,” said Kevin Bankston, a lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, responding to questions from a reporter about the little-noticed policy that was first reported by TorrentFreak. Facebook private messages are governed by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which forbids communications providers from intercepting user messages, barring limited exceptions for security and valid legal orders.
