Clickbait title. The tool allows banning any word. There's nothing special about unionize in the tool.

You're right on the capacity to ban/control discussion around any word. However it is probably notable that Facebook chose to highlight 'unionize' and not 'football' or 'American Idol' in their sales pitch.

  • True but I think it was a bit tongue in cheek which I like in companies, would you rather them writing there Trump? From some reason I don't thing there would be such reaction if that what they wrote

There's one special aspect to "unionize": according to the article it was the word Facebook chose to use as an example in a presentation. If that's true, this title seems rather fair.
