But facebook is a social networking site


It's strength has been in relying on users to submit content. Take away the content? Lose the users.

You think allowing anyone to post what they want is a disaster? I call it free speech. I call it the internet. They don't have to follow it, as they are a private company. But to pretend this is part of the "editorial" process is absurd. They are not a news agency and Facebook's rep isn't on the line if Joebob posts a tabloid story on his account.
