Posts that call for illegal actions (such as stabbing civilians) should be removed

What about illegal actions like downloading copyrighted material? Depicting Muhammad? Criticising president Erdogan?

Those should be removed too. People have no right to criticize people like Erdogan and Kim Jong Un. They are working their butts off to try to make their nation great, and their worthless populations aren't helping things by voicing criticisms.
You're missing a sarcasm indicator, right?

Lol mate he was joking. None of those things are illegal, and should not be censored.
Down voted? This is what causes self-censorship. Ironic how it's on a post about censorship.
You got downvoted because of the obliviousness of your comment, not because there is a conspiracy to oppress your voice.

Criticizing Erdogan is illegal in Iran. Depicting Mohammed can get you imprisoned or killed in the middle east.

*Illegal in Turkey I presume, not Iran
Ok I see your point. Perhaps the line should be at calling for violence against an ethnicity or innocent individual. If for example someone on the street calling to stab people of certain etnicity and show a diagram of where to stab to make the most damage, will be arrested in most countries. I don't see why Facebook should be any different...
