Infinitely cheaper to remove content and then turn off comments than having full time corporate lawyers monitoring everything.

Further, some of these corporate FB pages simply gave their consumers a free kick to complain about service or lack thereof. Some funny stories there where it blew up in their corporate faces and gave the media a field day laughing at them.

On balance, I can't see why any company would bother.

The huge list of negatives far outweighs any tiny possible PR gain.
