    Remarks such as “Someone shoot Trump” should be deleted, because as a head of state he is in a protected category. But it can be permissible to say: “To snap a bitch’s neck, make sure to apply all your pressure to the middle of her throat”, or “fuck off and die” because they are not regarded as credible threats.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that Facebook is monetizing this.

    “Facebook cannot keep control of its content,” said one source. “It has grown too big, too quickly.”

And will continue to do so until it suffers financial calamity as a result of its lax, unenforceable standards.
