FACEBOOK: ARE THERE CERTAIN ASPECTS OF LIFE THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE POSTED ON FACEBOOK?

FACEBOOK: What would the government considered to be an ‘inappropriate’ post? What type of posts are removed by Facebook?

WOULD THE GOVERNMENT REMOVE THIS?

Or This?

What About This?

Free Speech? o The first two posts were written by American ex-Marine Brandon J Raub. o His mother claims he was taken by FBI and Secret Service on July 16 th 2012 for posting patriotic Facebook posts. o These posts have since been removed from Facebook

‘We are all Khaled Said…’ o The last Facebook page was created in tribute to Khaled Said, a 28 year old who was tortured, beaten and murdered by the Egyptian government – for voicing his political opinion. o It was this page and post that sparked the Egyptian Revolution

BUT, DOES FREE SPEECH EXISTS?

o As you look at each slide, think about what the Human Right is actually saying – what does it mean? o Do you agree/disagree with it? Discuss in your groups o On your sheet, write down an example of this Right either being followed, or being violated.

‘We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety’

‘We all have the right to make up our own minds, to think what we like, to say what we think, and to share our ideas with other people wherever they live, through books, radio, television and in other ways’

‘We all have the right to meet our friends and to work together in peace to defend our rights. Nobody can make us join a group if we don’t want to’

‘We all have the right to take part in the government of our country. Every grown-up should be allowed to choose their own leaders from time to time and should have a vote which should be made in secret’

‘We have a right to peace and order so we can all enjoy rights and freedoms in our own country and all over the world’
