That's an excuse that FB uses. I know people who have pages set up for their pets. Others have 3 or 4 pages under false names. The ONLY way they get locked or pulled is because someone complains.

That's just it. The kid being 12 was just a pretext, but pretexts are easy to use if the Progressives are willing to submit complaints.

It's not actually all that hard to get a FB account locked down. Just organize a whole bunch of people to submit complaints. The first thing that happens is that the complaints hit a threshold that triggers the automated lock-down routine. Then a FB staffer takes a look and makes a determination on whether terms of service are violated.

The Progs are both able and willing to use its organizational capability to mount these kinds of speech denial attacks. Its a shame that Conservatives don't seem inclined to do the same - if there were a counter-effort targeting Progressive sites, it would be pretty easy to overwhelm FB's capability to conduct audits of pages that get automatically shut down.

I don't know if you remember but there was a "kill Sarah Palin" FB page. It took forever to get it pulled. Had it been a about a commie it would have been gone in a heartbeat.

Gotta go to bed. Night. :-)
