Facebook is the world's most powerful media company. With 1.6 billion members, it has a huge influence on what people think. We need to pay attention to it.

@KJTorrance The @nytimes has often fought for freedom of expression. Would @facebook go to court for the right to publish pentagon papers?

@KJTorrance Facebook distributes news to 1.6 billion people. We need to know that it values freedom of expression.

Should we hold it to a lower standard than we would hold the @nytimes? Why? https://t.co/LOPxQkGpzR

Is someone trying to claim Facebook is all about "free speech" and all voices being heard? https://t.co/xgTTDM59AM

@KJTorrance @HeerJeet Does Facebook have a responsibility to demonstrate that it stands for freedom of expression? Or is it not accountable?

[facebookwatch @fb_watch]

@KJTorrance @HeerJeet Facebook is the largest media company in the world. A board member has used the his $ + courts to pursue a vendetta.

[facebookwatch @fb_watch]

@KJTorrance @HeerJeet It seems clear that Thiel was within his legal rights in funding these lawsuits. But is he a good fit for Facebook?

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Thiel's behavior goes against the principle of free speech. He needs to step down from the board of Facebook, company with vast media power.

"Thiel’s tactics in going after Gawker are very, very frightening for anybody who believes in freedom of speech" https://t.co/pylygbXW83
