Amusing: Iranian judge summons Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to appear in court

There is zero chance Mark Zuckerberg will show up. 

Via The Hill:

An Iranian judge wants Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to appear in court and answer questions about privacy protections.

According to the Iranian ISNA news service, a judge in the southern Iranian province of Fars ordered the Silicon Valley titan to testify in response to complaints that Instagram and WhatsApp, both of which Facebook owns, violated people’s privacy.

An official with the paramilitary volunteer force Basij, seeming to speak on behalf of the court, referred to Zuckerberg as “the Zionist manager of Facebook” and ordered him to appear in court “to defend himself and make compensation for damages,” according to a translation from Agence France-Presse.

Obama buddy and Facebook CEO Zuckerberg uses tax havens to avoid taxes...

Why are democrats and their supporters such hypocrites? 

Facebook channelled profits through a series of tax havens in order to pay just  £2.9m of corporation tax on more than £800m of overseas profits in 2011, it has been reported.

Like Google and Apple the social networking site is said to have used its headquarters in Ireland to avoid tax liabilities in the UK before directing earnings to a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands.

British companies that buy advertising on Facebook must do so via Facebook Ireland Ltd which entitles the company to sidestep HM Revenue and Customs and authorities in other higher-tax jurisdictions, reported the Sunday Times today.

Facebook Censored Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Posting Critical of Obama

Facebook claimed it was an error after they were publicly busted. That claim is ridiculous. Everyone knows who Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is an Obama friend and supporter.

(550KFYI)- The Republican governor had said in a post Friday that Facebook censored the item she posted Thursday because it apparently violated Facebook's community standards.

Brewer didn't elaborate in her post, but she said Friday in an interview that an email she received from Facebook said the post was removed because of an included illustration.

The email, which she read aloud, didn't specify how the illustration violated standards.

"I'd like to know why it happens,'' she said of the removal.

Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes responded to a query by The Associated Press by saying in a brief email that Brewer's post was removed in error and that Facebook was sorry.

Noyes did not provide further details, including whether the removal of the post on Thursday resulted from complaints received from other Facebook users.

Brewer reposted the item Friday, saying the original post was ``censored'' by Facebook. Both versions included a statement in which she criticized the Obama policy decision and the illustration, a color drawing of Brewer in a Rosie the Riveter pose.

Facebook Bans Chinese Activist For Not Using His Real Name. He Should Claim To Be Mark Zuckerberg's Dog.

Most people would understand why Chinese blogger and activist Michael Anti started his Facebook with a pseudonym. His fame has grown and his real name of Zhao Jing is now know. Facebook canceled his account recently citing a strict policy against pseudonyms. Zhao Jing is wondering how Mark Zuckerberg's dog still has a Facebook page.

BEIJING — Chinese blogger and activist Michael Anti wants to know why he is less worthy of a Facebook account than company founder Mark Zuckerberg's dog.

Anti, a popular online commentator whose legal name is Zhao Jing, said in an interview Tuesday that his Facebook account was suddenly canceled in January. Company officials told him by e-mail that Facebook has a strict policy against pseudonyms and that he must use the name issued on his government ID.

Anti argues that his professional identity as Michael Anti has been established for more than a decade, with published articles and essays.
