More censorship? Rudd 'epic fail' FaceBook group goes offline

Today, we can reveal that online political speech has been dealt another blow with Facebook, the popular social networking site, being accused of political censorship after it removed the group "KEVIN RUDD = EPIC FAIL".

Before it was removed the Facebook group is understood to have had over 3000 members and focused on building a list what it described as Kevin Rudd's broken promises.

Whether or not you agree with the argument of the group, surely in a democracy the creators have the right to express their views and people have a right to join and support that group.

This supports the thin edge of the wedge idea, yes?
