Facebook Won't Take Down Undercover Cop Page In Australia

Posted by timothy on from the don't-try-it-in-texas-though dept.

New submitter jaa101 writes "Facebook has refused a request from Australian police to take down a page with details of undercover police vehicles saying it cannot stop people taking photos in public places. The original story is paywalled and it doesn't give a link to the relevant page which seems to be here . This page for the state of Victoria has 12000 likes but a similar page for the state of Queensland has over 34000, and there are other Australian pages too."

    I am less worried about police abuse than organized crime and government corruption. Perhaps they should just let the police do their job and then keep an eye on them so they do it properly, but messing with them is not going to solve anything.
