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?"

I can't see it at all and I'm logged in. It doesn't show up under search results either. All the "If you're against 'Fuck Islam' join here" groups are there. I think Facebook has a few ops that read /. and responded before this got widespread attention.

Hey, you know, I agree with you.

I think we should form a "Fuck Internet Ronin" group on Facebook. Anybody that hates on Deities and accepts Muslim haters needs a hate group of their own. That's some twisted thinking after reading your post. Thanks for firing off my neurons!!

Oops.
