Annotation

It is argued that, despite Facebook attempts to change users’ language utilization, language choice for one’s own status updates is not defined by the “See Translation” button, but based on a set of benchmarks, thus staying a socially relevant user choice, ending in an inconsistency between explicit and implicit Facebook language policies.
