Why is Facebook banned in China?
You can just search for this on Wikipedia. But let me show you how Facebook dealt with terrorism differently in the US and in China.
In 2013, a bomb went off in Boston. 3 people were killed. Facebook and Twitter all immediately jumped in to help with the investigation. Multi, Social Media Play Huge Role in Solving Boston Bombing They were so eager to help that they even jumped on the wrong person!
In 2009, ETIM, which was formally classified as terrorism organization by both the UN and the US in 2002, organized a riot in China that killed almost 200 people. July 2009 Ürümqi riots Most of the dead were women and children. They used Facebook to set up the riot. The Chinese government asked Facebook to help identifying the terrorists. Facebook said, eh, hmm, just freedom fighters exercising free speech. So the Chinese told them to get the f*ck out of China. Later Facebook has attempted several times to get back in, and the Chinese government always smiled politely without budging an inch.
