Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech

NewsCloud writes "Does Facebook believe that no publicity is bad publicity? Why else would they leave a group called, "F**k Islam" open since July 21, 2007 despite more than 53,482 members joining an opposing group called petition: if "f**k Islam" is not shut down..we r quitting facebook group? Furthermore, advertisers such as Sprint, Verizon, T Mobile, Target, and Qwest wouldn't be too happy to learn that they are paying for ads on the 'F**k Islam' group pages. Shouldn't a startup like Facebook, reportedly worth more than a billion dollars and with over a hundred employees, be expected to enforce its own Terms of Use in less than six weeks?"

    These fucking ragheads should get a grip and be a bit less sensitive of their silly religion.
    I don't see Jews, Christians or any other religious group for that matter, suicide bombing a play school each time someone offends their sensibilities.

    And by suicide bombig a play school, I imply also the whining and protesting of the official groups. Your religion is not special. It's equally subject to ridicule with the rest of the religions.

    Exactly, the only thing they did wrong was limit the scope. Fuck all religions. We have enough idiots who are deluded about factual topics (economics being an easy example), we don't need people being deluded about their imaginary friends, too.

    Remember that it's acceptable to make fun of Geeks, Christians, Buddists, Jews, Scientologists, Atheists, and LoS (Libertarians on Slashdot). But never make fun of Islam, the religion of peace, because they might cut off your head and car bomb your friends.

    Ha! That is so funny! You know what else is funny? Christians who freak the fuck out when they go into a Target in December and see a sign that says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". Or the Southern Baptists' long boycott of Disney for, among other things, offering benefits to gay couples. And that's in a stable, prosperous nation. I wonder what Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell would have done if they'd been on the shit end of 100 years of western imperialism

    Or how about when someone who happens to be Muslim kills someone, it's Islamic violence, but when a Christian kills someone, it's for other reasons. Like the KKK, the IRA, killers of abortion doctors, and millions of people that have died in wars and coups in Africa and South America. What does the Blame Islam First Crowd explain Seung-Hui Cho saying he wanted to be "Christ like" when he started killing people at Virginia Tech?

    Thing is, there isn't any common sense to those things. To understand that, just look at every war ever.

    Anything that's against popular leftard proteges is "racist". Race doesn't really matter.

    You can only insult and bash whites, especially if male, rich, and non-immigrant. They can be continuously blamed for everything, such as slavery, even though they did nothing themselves, but others who kill and murder are just poor people following their beautiful religion of peace.

    Too generalized!!! People are about as diverse as weeds in a garden. No two people share all that much in the way of motivations or motives. Some people really dedicate themselves to helping others while others are looking for bushes to hide their latest kill under. There is even one type of yo-yo that could care less about what the world knows about him as long as his family doesn't know. This mud we call the world is so perverse that some people are even conservative republicans.
