Facebook cencorship and regulation research
Censoring Facebook practices are extremely complicated. We are doing some comparative research here in Athens as you might know Facebook did censor the Greek uprising of the indignants in greece as well as the rioting happening at time in July). Like with all monopoly media research the issue of access has again sprung up in that neither Facebook or the local authorities are publishing any information on exactly how all this happens and participating in our research is not up there in their priorities ( i think they mostly dont answer queries cause of lack of staff as oppose to anything else). I am however fascinated by the cultural discrepancy between local law enforcers and Facebook employes, which is one of the key aspects of what we are researching. Anyway the question is: is there anybody doing field research on Facebook censorship, that might be interested to share with us???????
