Facebook users beware, according to Newsweek, THE NIPPLE PATROL IS AFTER US!!Yes indeed, it seems that Facebook pays 150 people to check for porn on its site. That would be almost 18% of its staff checking Facebook content for violations of the “Fully Exposed Butt Rule, the Crack Rule and the Nipple Rule”. Really. Unfortunately last year these policies led to the removal of pictures of women breastfeeding their children because they were deemed pornographic.
And now it turns out that while breastfeeding is considered obscene, Holocaust denial is just a matter of free speech. As the folks at Tech Crunch put it so elegantly, “Jew Haters Welcome At Facebook, As Long As They Aren’t Lactating.” As their post says quite accurately, actually this has nothing to do with free speech because Facebook isn’t a public forum, it is privately owned. And one would certainly think that terms such as “Nigger faggot, Jew nosed cunt” would be a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service regarding hate speech.Or not.
Here’s hoping Facebook gets a clue and rethinks its policy because what is obscene is not knowing the basic difference between right and wrong.
