FB must adhere to what is spelled out in its prospectus.
I haven't read it myself.
If investors weren't told about FB chasing away users, then FB may have some SEC issues, maybe not.
Also, advertisers may have a gripe with FB if they don't have access to all of the eyeballs that FB promised.
I don't have the answers, but I do know that FR doesn't have to deal with this stuff because they don't contract with advertisers and they're not publicly traded.
FB is in a much more complex situation and must be more careful or they could sink their own ship with a dumb mistake.
Irrelevant. Until Fakebook is subjected to FCC communication regulations or IRS tax laws, then this point is moot.

Have you read it?

Well, that answers that question.

Maybe the topic just never came up? The investors were too busy thinking about the champagne and escorts that will be provided to them to the parties after the site went public?

Haven't heard any other advertisers complaining. Other than conservatives being stupid to trust FB to begin with instead of seeking out alternatives.

FR doesn't have to "deal with it" because their mission statement is right on the homepage, which means sniveling liberals will immediately get the message and can go and create their own blogs or websites then.
FB should no more be able to terminate a subscriber because it disagrees with the political views of its customer than the electric company or telephone company could cut off your power for the same reason.
