Facebook goes more puritanical

[mindstalk]

Not that I've seen many people posting erotic art or looking for dates on FB, but doing so is now in violation of their terms:

"We draw the line, however, when content facilitates, encourages or coordinates sexual encounters between adults."

Do not post content asking for "Sex chat or conversations"

"We also restrict sexually explicit language that may lead to solicitation because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content"

Basically don't do anything that would offend the most sensitive country Facebook doesn't want to get blocked in.

A friend of mine pointed at that, according to those guidelines, posting about a meetup targeted for LGBT folk would be a violation. Just a 'hey folks, let's get together at a bar' type meetup.

Wow, I didn't know they had changed the rules like that. I think you summed it up nicely. They just want to make money in oppressive countries.
