    Facebook removed an excerpt from the U.S. Declaration of Independence, claiming the text violated the social network’s policies on “hate speech.”

    The Liberty County Vindicator had been uploading the Declaration of Independence in parts to their Facebook page, only for the tenth part to be removed by the social network.

    More likely the bots Facebook uses to police its self. I doubt a human sitting at a Facebook desk was involved.

    I wonder how facebook would have liked what paul had to say in Romans 1, concerning alternate lifestyles?

    One would surely hope so. But with the ideological bent of the vast majority of the workers, who can really tell? And you certainly can't believe any facebook rep.

    I doubt most of them can even spell Bible...unless they want to whip it out to make a fallacious point on immigration.

    Yep. I would bet that a bot picked up on the "merciless Indian savages" part.
