Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-take-it-down dept.

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 did read my history. There was a lot of violence back then. On both sides. The difference is we are still killing them in mass and for profit or politics or religion and we get so worked up when they fight back. It's a shitty situation and if we didn't rely on oil to sustain our economy, one that probably could have been avoided.

    You're looking at an estimated minimum 71,277 dead Iraqi soldiers, insurgents, husbands, mothers and children since the start of the war. A war we've worked out was not based on WMD's. In other words a political act of aggression. With real casualties on both sites (estimates for US loses are about 3,742 and those are a lot of grieving parents, siblings, friends, husbands and wives).

    You damn right we've been hostile to the Muslims through history, and with good reason. Wherever the borders of Islam touch other civilizations, there is bloodshed and misery. They invaded, enslaved, raped and slaughtered all their neighbors in those days, and they're doing the same thing now.

    The Crusades were in response to a brutal Muslim invasion, and totally justified. Too bad they failed to drive the Mahometans back to Arabia. The world would be a much happier place today if the Crusaders had been victorious.

    Islam has proved to be a plague to humanity, as well as many other religions that are just as evil.

    I don't understand why people can't tolerate hecklers and idiots without getting all offended.
    Why the hell should we? Just because they're on the Internet and they think they can get away with it?

    Who are you to say what is more or less evolved? Rape isn't just a crime, it's an evolutionary strategy.
