"Facebook’s policies for censoring hate speech have again come under fire after the social media giant labeled a passage from the Declaration of Independence as hate speech.
Facebook apologized to a Texas newspaper on Tuesday for deleting its post that included the passage.
The Liberty County Vindicator had been posting excerpts of the Declaration of Independence daily leading up to July 4th. The first nine posts were published without a problem. The 10th post, which included paragraphs 27 through 31 of the Declaration of Independence, was deleted by Facebook.
According to Casey Stinnett, the Vindicator’s managing editor, the paper received a notice from Facebook that said the post “goes against our standards on hate speech.”"
