Facebook is Against ToleranceImagine this: a post about tolerance, about queer life in Naumburg, about the subtle weighing of discrimination versus freedom of speech – and Facebook decides that's somehow too dangerous. 
The English, French, and Russian versions of the article on Bürgerstimme.net (English), Bürgerstimme.net (French), and Bürgerstimme.net (Russian) were deleted, while the link to the German article remained. One could almost laugh – if it weren’t so sad. Facebook, the great gatekeeper of digital free speech, seems to recognize tolerance only when it comes in German. English? French? Russian? Danger alert! Discrimination on the worldwide web – and Facebook grabs the virtual red card. The article doesn’t contain the slightest trace of hate, violence, or calls to anarchy. It simply discusses whether Pride events are state-supported while Monday demonstrations are treated more critically. A highly interesting contribution about democracy, freedom of speech, and the delicate balance between identity and opinion – but Facebook apparently decided: “Too complicated, let's just delete it.” And by “it,” they mean the links to the articles – because that was all that was posted on Facebook. So what does this tell us? That tolerance according to Facebook's rules is about as one-sided as a one-way street sign on Mars. Queer visibility can be discussed, as long as it comes in the right language. Political demonstrators marching for peace, freedom, or democracy? Oops – too risky for the big social platform. Who would have thought you could learn from Facebook that democracy is applied selectively? The moral of the story: if Facebook ever preaches tolerance again, remember that it apparently follows a one-way concept. One direction allowed, all others deleted. And we laugh to keep from crying – at a platform that thinks it has the right to decide the value of free speech while itself staggering through the digital world like a bureaucracy zombie. Facebook, thank you for proving that tolerance can also be interpreted very selectively. Maybe soon there will be a course: “How to Delete Free Speech with One Click?” – registrations are welcome.
