HAHAHAHHHHH!! Cheesy

They really don't know what people are capable of on the internet do they? If they can't even block people from using piratebay then they sure as hell aren't going to stop them from organising a protest online.

"Oh no, I've been blocked from facebook! Guess I'd better switch on my VPN now then"

Hiding in plain sight is an ancient art.

Look up the origins of "cockney slang".

Well, I guess just like nobody ever protested anything before Facebook existed, we'll have to go back to those days of no protesting, because it certainly isn't possible to organize any way other than through some corporate behemoth.

This is hardly news. Facebooks sell all the data they get to 3rd party corporations/institutions

It's crazy that people still use Facefuck/Twatter, plenty of alternatives to the CIA/NSA/GCHQ database:

It's the beginning of the end for Facebook and others and the start of an amazing opportunity for the built-up of tools that no one can control or stop. Some coding genius should see this as great news.

I thought that twitter is the main tool of fast coordination?

I don't have a twiiter or facebook account myself, and I still cannot understand how people tolerate the way facebook changed things.

A partnership between police departments and social media sites discussed at a convention in Philadelphia this week could allow law enforcement to keep anything deemed criminal off the Internet—and even stop people from organizing protests.

A high-ranking official from the Chicago Police Department told attendees at a law enforcement conference on Monday that his agency has been working with a security chief at Facebook to block certain users from the site “if it is determined they have posted what is deemed criminal content,” reports Kenneth Lipp, an independent journalist who attended the lecture.

Lipp reported throughout the week from the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference, and now says that a speaker during one of the presentations suggested that a relationship exists between law enforcement and social media that that could be considered a form of censorship.

According to Lipp, the unnamed CPD officer said specifically that his agency was working with Facebook to block users’ by their individual account, IP address or device, such as a cell phone or computer.
