    If you've ever visited Taiwan and China. It'd be obvious to you that Taiwan is nothing like China regardless of what you think the national political debate may be.

    Hm, I have never thought before about such kind of difficulties social networks may meet...
    Yes, it's rather difficult to solve such problems, and there is no ideal solution. However, allowing users to decide if they live in Qasrin, Syria, or in Katzrin, Israel, is a good compromise.

    And I fully agree that importance of free speech outweighs possible offensiveness. If there are no attempts to incite violence offensiveness should be admissible. Contrary decision is a way to shut up everybody, as offense is rather a subjective thing.
