<div><br></div><div>Most countries have what is called "laws against obscene publications" and some "indecent exposure" and I suspect that Brazil has something of the sort which required the authorities to .take down certain content.</div>
</blockquote><div><br>It was not Brazilian authorities that have taken down content from Facebook. The concrete situation is actually quite the opposite: while Brazilian authorities had no problem with the march and Brazilian media (newspapers, TV) had no problem to show the images, Facebook has taken a more conservative and restrictive stance, removing the pictures and blocking the profiles. <br>
<br>The content was removed based on Facebook policy guidelines. It is Facebook rules, Facebook morality, which have been applied indistictively in a cross-border fashion to citizens worlwide.<br><br>Some basic conclusions: a) rights, such as freedom of expression, are being restricted by the same platforms that are praised and known for enabling their exercise; b) there is a privatization of Internet regulation, subtle, based on contracts (terms of use), but yet, dangerous; c) I see no adequate forum where we should take this issue to be analized in a participatory and balanced way in the global arena.<br>
