Some Facebook minion had to read the post. Some Facebook minion had to make the judgment that Gov. Brewer’s opinion was offensive (either to minion or others).
Editorial decision based on “offensive”.
“Offense” is determined by the reader. It has no place as an editorial determinent in a forum of free ideas (e.g your like of bacon is offensive to me and my religion).
The proper editorial response is: “Get over it and get a life”
If this had been an average citizen, FB would not have apologized.
Pretty much sums up the true reason for the deletion.
