This is one of the stupidest things Facebook has ever done.
Yes it's far stupider than all the privacy gaffes and whatnot, because at least there they were trying to push the envelope and change the world to their advantage.
Trying to censor Google+ is ridiculous given the incredible hype and press it's getting. All it does is make them appear weak.
In this case it's obvious what they should do. Publicly they should ignore Google+, privately they should watch it and see what they can learn.
This is not stupid at all. Why would Facebook advertise a competing product on their own ad network? That would be ridiculous. It does not make them appear weak either. Letting it happen would make them look stupid. Banning it is the right business decision.
He's talking about banning mere mentions of Google+ in your status messages, or wall posts. If this were true, then Facebook would be rightly subjected to a Streisand effect.
