"Post in a Facebook group? "An admin has deleted your post for violating group rules"."

But you know going into some of these groups that they have rules and they can enforce them. Those groups are set up by someone who can dictate the rules. Don't like it then just don't join. I am an admin (not the owner) on our local town page. The owner makes it very clear this is a family safe group meaning no cussing and so on is ever allowed. Violate this and you're either in time out or outright gone. Not sure this qualifies as censorship. I would not have agreed to help her had she not been running a clean page. I do agree with the Reddit comments and my short time on there showed me the internet truly is a strange and at time awful place. Deleting my account just made sense. But at the same time the ability to become an anonymous person where you can now become a mouth breathing neanderthal and say all the nasty stuff you want seems to help make society just a little less appealing as well.
