With the new terms of service of the widely known social media platform Facebook, they can soon be able to remove or restrict content that may have legal or regulatory impacts on their company. The new terms will be effective starting on this coming October 1, 2020.

Facebook has reportedly sent a smartphone notification to its users starting Monday evening about the said new terms which highlights the section 3.2 of their terms of service, which states:
