Which rules apply on Facebook and what happens when you break them? Filmmaker Jakob Gottschau spoke to people who found out, sometimes the hard way: a law school graduate found out that Facebook saved all his data, including the deleted items. A prize-winning Danish author tried to get the far-from-shocking nude photos from his book on hippies posted, to no avail - even though he was force-fed ads for porn sites. Drag queens received threats of account removal if they didn’t use their real names. Gottschau also spoke to social media and law experts. The only missing voice is Facebook’s. The organisation hides behind nameless buildings and vague statements. An attempt to gain insight into the world’s largest, most powerful social network that has dictatorial traits.
