Not exactly true. 18 types of posts that Facebook may deem worth censoring (if reported, that's the key thing). They don't censor everything, but there is still the possibility of it.

1. Pictures with “any obvious sexual activity—even if naked parts are hidden from view.” (Foreplay, such as kissing or groping, is permitted, regardless of the person’s sexuality.)

2. Naked breastfeeding photos or pictures in which the nipple is clearly exposed.

3. Digital cartoon nudity; art nudity is OK.

4. Pictures of marijuana are OK as long as the user isn’t buying, selling, or growing it.

5. “Slurs or racial comments of any kind.”

6. “Versus photos” comparing two people—or an animal and a person—side by side.

7. Photo-shopped images showing a person in a negative light.

8. Images of drunk and unconscious people, or “sleeping people with things drawn on their faces.”

9. Pictures showing or approving of animal cruelty, unless it’s a depiction of food processing or hunting.

10. Violent speech (for example, “I love hearing skulls crack.”)

11. Pictures of charred, mutilated or decapitated people.

12. Images of “internal organs, bones, muscle and tendons”; however, “deep flesh wounds” and “excessive blood” are permitted, as are “crushed heads, limbs, etc. as long as no insides are showing.”

13. Holocaust denial.

14. Attacks on Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of Turkey.

15. Credible threats of violence, threats against heads of state and law enforcement, and any credible “indication of terrorist activity or organized crime.”

16. Threats or serious promotion of suicide.

17. Supporting groups, people and symbols that advocate and promote eating disorders as a lifestyle.

18. Images of Self-mutilation

Your apparent intent was to start a political discussion. You even noted that you expected the post to be removed. Since the post isn't going to be allowed here, perhaps you should go to Facebook or Twitter and post it there.

I would say it would depend on what the person stood for, if there was some issue with that.

I haven't seen posts that were just RIPs being pulled off here, but I don't catch all posts, so it's possible that I didn't see it before it was pulled.

Apparently it was one that I missed and it was based on what the person stood for (at least politically) for what I can gather.

I have and many other places Thank you very much.I just feel the need to express myself on a topic that is damaging society not political whatsoever thats all.
I am aware that it is a very sensitive issue here with many of your fine folk.I am sorry if I upset them and it's not my intention to.As some of you are aware I have a 7 year old daughter and since SH whenever I read or hear about a tragic loss of life at that age it affects me and hits home big time.
Thats all.
Have a great day Sir!

It most certainly is a political issue. It didn't upset anyone (other than you) because it was pulled before it would have. One can only hope that that's all. You too Sir.

Here is a life lesson: Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
