Some
questions we can all ask Team Zuckerberg…
When
evangelicals set up whole groups and pages on Facebook, all dedicated to
posting hate speech aimed at atheists, agnostics, gays, lesbians and bisexuals…why
doesn’t Facebook shut them down? Why does Facebook software reject reports
against those groups without even reading them?
When
atheists and gays point out that we’re not, in fact, genocidal maniacs, that we’re
not unnatural, that we’re not immoral, that we’re not trying to persecute
anybody, that we’re not bloodthirsty pagans, that we’re not mentally ill, that
we’re not on the warpath to destroy marriage or civilization, that we actually
know the Bible as well as the people who are waving it in our faces…when we
defend ourselves against this hate speech, why are we the ones who are blocked
and banned?
Just
look at all the hate-speech sites Facebook tolerates – Atheism Fails, Atheist
Delusion, Liberals Are Sheep, Atheism on the Slide, entire sites slamming gays
for wanting to marry….can you imagine what Facebook would do, if we built sites
like Christians Are Deluded, Evangelicals Are Insane? How long do you think
those sites would survive?
Why
has Facebook determined that anti-gay hate speech isn’t hate, but defending
yourself against hate is…hate?
When
atheists and gays use the Bible itself to refute claims by evangelicals…why
does Facebook call it hate speech?
When
is Facebook going to recognize that atheists and gays have the same right to
speak out against injustice, and to be protected against hate speech, as
churchgoers?
The
three worst offenders in this regard are sites called “1,000,000 Supporting
Traditional Marriage”, “OMG America”, and “Conservative Daily”. All three sites
post content which clearly violates the Facebook Terms Of Service regarding
hate speech, regularly posting derogatory attacks against gays, atheists and
anyone else they don’t like. But if you try to go there and challenge their
dishonest attacks, you are likely to be “gang-banned” by their members – who file
multiple reports against people they don’t like – and then tossed out of
Facebook. “Conservative Daily” has a particularly sweet deal: they are getting
such good protection from Zuckerberg that sometimes you need a special extra
security scan before you’re allowed to even post on their site.
