Report this call for violence on FACEBOOK.
I think the title explains it all.
I read this article, where a guy called for people to report an offensive post by Sarah Palin. Apparently if enough people report, Facebook goes into a self-policing mode where the system takes over with no person-involvement. If enough of us report, it just might be deleted by the system before a person from Facebook even gets involved. Plus us reporting sends a message to Facebook that these sort of pages should not be allowed.
When It Comes To Women’s Issues, Facebook Still Hasn’t Figured Out How To Play Fair
Please reblog this.
Raaaaage. Sick, sexist, rape culture, reported your ass like yeah, etc. I remember reporting a hateful, fat-phobic group years ago. This was back in ‘05, in the Facebook Stone Age, pre-news feeds and like buttons. I wasn’t even prepared for the international douchery that would take place five years later.
EVERYTHING about this is making me ill, but it’s the comments to the people speaking out against the group on the event page that are the most alarming to me. Women who comment on the group’s sexist nature and the danger of celebrating rape culture get a string of responses about their physical attractiveness, saying they have “nothing to worry about.” Men get homophobic responses, because HOW DARE YOU care about the safety of women when you should just be a man and grab a handful.
Now the creator is backpedaling, saying the event is a joke and all in fun. Yeah, that’s pretty much the problem. Asshole.
FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE.
