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?"
Does anyone else think that starting a petition threatening to leave the site on which the petition is hosted...? Oh, nevermind.
Fuck Digg.
If this is a threat you have to do better than that! It's no skin off my back if you quit for being a whiner.

The game.
I think they misunderstand. Fuck Old People is a dating service group.
FUCK FAT People. They are just UGLY.

You are a very brave person to post that sentiment on
I can has sig?
I'm holding out for the 'Fuck Virginity' group....
... ducks and runs...

With Bob Dole as their spokesperson and a great catchy line like, "I chose the little blue pill and plugged myself right into her Matrix."
What's the big deal? That happened centuries ago, hence Sunni and Shia Islam.

You said:
"Not likely, not here. And any 'Fuck Islam' talk will be quickly moderated down.
'Fuck Christianity' will be just as quickly rewarded.
We can't allow too much tolerance!"
I now ask, what do you call tolerance and why are you so much against it?
I think you mean to say that we are quick to censor any anti-Christianity but slow to censor any anti-Ismlamic posts, or maybe the other way around. But your statement actually says both "will be just as quickly rewarded" I think in the context of being moderated down. Are you saying that any discussion of this topic, regardless of the position of the commenter, will be moderated down?
Whatever your answer, I will just come out and tell you the secret slashdot moderation guidelines. (They will hunt me down and punish me for this, but... Oh well, here goes nothing).
1. Liberal = BAD
2. Conservative = Not so Bad
3. Libertarian = Ultra plus plus double good
4. Islam = Bad Nasty
5. Christianity = WTF!
6. Evolution = Sure, whatever
7. Intelligent Design = Anything's possible, or not
8. Microsoft = Holey Operating System
9. Linux = Holy Operating System
10. BSD = Used to be Holy Operating System but caved in to Libertarians
The only group worth joining:
Fuck you, you fucking fuck.
That basically takes care of everything.
You know, fuck whom? Fuck web designers that think that a) screwing with your cursor is acceptable, and b) a cross-hair is a good cursor for links.
(also fuck people with pointless blogs, but that's kind of a standing sentiment)

If Slashdot doesn't bring back the hot grits and Natalie Portman, then I propose we quit.
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
Yeah, it's remarkable on slashdot how you can talk about [DELETED BY CMDR TACO]. I'm very much a free speech advocated but it seems to me that somethings go way beyond the line, and I don't think if I were CmdrTaco I'd let people post about my private life on forum my wife may read, or even the animal rights people who just can't accept that [DELETED BY CMDR TACO]. He paid for the bunnies, what he does to them in private should be his business alone.

The alternative is kind of sickening. "See how deep the rabbit hole goes"... *shiver*
i-slam? as in i-tunes? What is that, an Apple card game?
I'm not insane. My mother had me tested.
If you're a whiner who just quit Facebook, I'd like to point that there will always be place for you on LiveJournal.
We have these features
* Auto sockpuppet scripts. You don't need the bother of maintaining human friends, even online ones. Our Perl scripts will flame your enemies when they become too numerous for you to do it manually.
* One click Delete Freakin' Everything(tm) and Restart Under An Alias. Our killer feature. Drama never had less consequences.
Sincerely Yours,

Why do you hate the "masses"?
Never use absolutes. It's always wrong to do so.

20% of the moderation on this post was rated as "Informative". Now THAT is funny :).
Man, I hate it when people use free speech to say something I disagree with!

"FUCK FAT People"
I do all the time, just ask your mom.
