Facebook removes Italian neo-Nazi pages

According to a recent BNA Internet Law news article, the European parliament filed a complaint with Facebook regarding pages that promoted violence against gypsies. According to facebook, ""Facebook supports the free flow of information, and groups provide a forum for discussing important issues. However, Facebook will remove any groups which are violent or threatening". This very attribute of Facebook gives one an idea of the power that it wields. By posting information or opinion on facebook, one is able to reach a large audience. Evidence for this statement is provided by the fact that I can think of few people that do not have a facebook. By accessing this outlet, individuals are therefore able to share information that may very well be harmful. It seems as if Facebook needs to take the necessary precautions in order to stop this potentially harmful information from being posted in the first place.
