Facebook has apologised for blocking Viz magazine’s brand page in “error”. The frequently foul-mouthed comic, a parody of titles such as The Beano and Dandy, took to Twitter on Monday to air its grievance at being blocked to its 150,000 followers.Because of the foul language being used in the magazine this article would be showing that Facebook removed it as to the content and that it was an error this still shows no evidence.

1. Facebook has to monitor a large volume of content posted on a daily basis and on occasion legitimate pages like Viz are mistakenly blocked.

2.  Enforcement is handled by a “community operations team” that includes both a manual and automated review of conten

3.  Facebook moved to block the page for an unexplained breach of those rules.

In my opinion this would show that Facebook has its rules and that they should own up to mistakes instead of the errors.  The content if too excessive should be removed if too far to social networking websites.
