DU Facebookers: Call for action!

[bluedigger]

So there's this page on FB: "Elliot Rodger is an American hero". https://www.facebook.com/pages/Elliot-Rodger-is-an-American-hero/633533810068231

Please report it if you Facebook - to report go to the dropdown menu by the little gear at the upper right, next to "Messages".

Facebook has responded to a friend of a friend that they will not take it down. Let's just see about that.

Also please bump this thread, since it's the middle of the night, for the morning crew. Thanks!

eta: Just received their reply to my report. Page was not removed. "We reviewed the page you reported for containing hate speech or symbols and found it doesn't violate our Community Standards."

Fuck that noise.

4. the reason for the page:

"Elliot Rodgers was a victim of society. Feminists were the primary cause of his death. "
will now report.

[barbtries]

5. another comment from the person (apparently) who made the page

"Feminists, whether you like it or not, you are the cause of this incident.
You have empowered women to essentially bully and reject people, and in this case it would seem that this happened to some poor kid with Autism.

A generation of self important narcissistic cows have been raised rather than the nicer ladies of the previous generations. Who's fault is that? That's the feminist's fault."

i told facebook that this was hate speech targeting a gender.

[dipsydoodle]

Its gone now anyway.

[SamKnause]

10. This appears to be gone from FB now. Good job, people!

[Violet_Crumble]

11. I just clicked on that link and it redirected straight back to my homepage at FB...

Is that happening for anyone else?

[dipsydoodle]

13. Try logging out and then doing it.

I wasn't logged in anyway and went straight to that page using the link here.

edit - I just tried again .............I think the page has gone.

[SoapBox]

12. Kicked & Recd...

In case it's not gone yet.

[Lunabell]

14. It's gone

Thank God/dess I didn't have to look at the contents.

[ananda]

16. Yep, gone. Good.

The link only opens to my own page.

I assume that means it's gone.

[Unknown Beatle]

17. I'm glad it's gone.

I was about to go to Facebook and complain to administration.

Welcome to DU, Lunabell.

[Lunabell]

19. Thank you

Actually, I have been here a while under Lunabelle, but forgot my password and they never emailed me a new one,lol. I even emailed them personally and never got a reply, so I made a new account instead.

[Unknown Beatle]

20. Well, in that case,

welcome back. You're probably an older member than I am. I joined in early Oct. 2012 but I only post or reply occasionally, as evidenced by my post count.

[rhett o rick]

18. I cant get to it. Hope it's gone. Good job. nm

[vankuria]

21. Glad the page is gone

but scares the hell out of me that people actually think this way. Feminism or not, women stayed away from this guy because he was a creep.
