Who is "we Austrians"? I'm an Austrian and I have no problem with Facebook not censoring that video!

Just so everybody here knows why the Austrian government wanted it banned: It showed how Muslim immigrants beat up a 16 year old girl and broke her jaw, reportedly as punishment because she dared to pull the veil off a Muslim girl.

That doesn't sit well with our government that wants to invite all of the Middle East here!

And probably the same is true for jakobegger, who enjoys freedom of speech only when it is an opinion that he isn't offended by, otherwise censorship is very much appreciated.

I have no opinion about Austrian politics but you can't post like this here, and we've asked you so many times not to, that I'm banning your account. It's one thing if people intend to use HN in good faith and don't know what the rules are; quite another to just keep flouting them. The personal attack in your comment was also egregious.

Using HN primarily for political or ideological battle is poison here. Regardless of what your politics or ideology are, this site exists to gratify intellectual curiosity, not weaponized conversation. This is particularly critical, because we can't have both: the one simply tramples the other, and that's not ok.
