When you consider what Facebook is trying to accomplish, which is to establish a universal code for acceptable content across multiple cultures and languages - this looks a lot more acceptable to me, than it would be otherwise.

Only if you accept the premise in the first place.

There is no set of rules that won't yield absurd results. FB is always going to carve out exceptions for the powerful. The baseline still starts from Zuckerburg's upper-class, U.S. dominant-culture sensibilities. And so on.

Universal? It doesn't get more US-centric than that...

Except it isn't universal. According to the article, each region has its own set of guidelines for acceptability.
