Facebook Hate Group

Face book has let a group of young individuals with Face book profiles start a derogatory group page. While the page reveals a group of individuals who are pro-rape. They see fun and humor in publishing jokes on the page about raping women. The page name is “Roses are red, Violets are blue, I’ve got a knife, get in the van. This is a very life threatening page being publicized on the internet for women to see. This is against face book policy listed on the internet site. Face book’s statement of rights and responsibilities states “You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, and pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence. When Face book was initially contacted about the issue the page was arousing they blew it off. There first comment on the issue was that the individuals that posted the group were playing and that it was like telling a joke in a local pub. They also stated that actions like this will not get you thrown off Face book. If you were to try this as a joke in a local pub and tell the person you’re talking to that you’re going to rape his daughter, wife, or mother he would probably seriously injure you. While this issue has even gone on a national level, the United Kingdom has already had 4,000 citizens sign a petition to take them down. The United States has also joined in on signing a petition to ban the pages with 176,000 citizens John Hancock. Face book doesn’t realize that a rapist can be anyone around you but you will never know because rapist only rape because they can. I think the government should get involved in the issue to settle it.
