CLICK Apparently, Facebook approved a "Kill Mitt Romney" page that was put up and left up over 17 days.Twitter followed a similar example in the George Zimmerman case a few months ago. The description for the page indicates its purpose, which is a directly threat on the life of Mitt Romney stating, "This is a page advocating the murder of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney." What's even more disturbing is the page had 30 likes!   While many users complained about the page and rightly so, all they received was an email stating the following: "Hi, Thanks for your recent report of a potential violation on Facebook. After reviewing your report, we were not able to confirm that the specific page you reported violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Learn more about what we do and don't allow by reviewing the Facebook Community Standards:https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards. Thanks, Viki Give us feedback to let us know how we are doing." According to Facebook's community standards, users are prohibited from "credibly (threatening) harm to others, or (organizing) acts of real-world violence." The community standards goes on to read: "Safety is Facebook's top priority. You may not credibly threaten to harm others, or organize acts of real-world violence. We remove content and may escalate to law enforcement when we perceive a genuine risk of physical harm, or a direct threat to public safety. We also prohibit promoting, planning or celebrating any of your actions if they have, or could, result in financial harm to others, including theft and vandalism." Even as I was researching the issue, the page had been pulled from Facebook. Apparently word got out and hundreds of people flooded Facebook with protests about the page, which apparently drew more than an automated response. One wonders if things like this will continue Facebook's downward spiral among Wall Street Stocks. One thing is for sure, no one should be threatening anyone's life. It's good Facebook finally pulled the page, even if it took an avalanche of emails reporting it to do so. *(Story courtesy of Tim Brown at Freedom Outpost) **(phone call Mine)~Terry Terry | August 27, 2012 at 6:48 pm | Tags: Democrats, Eric Holder, Facebook, liberals, Mitt Romney, Obama administration | Categories: 2012 Election, Culture War, Evil, Insanity, Liberals/Democrats, persecution, Racism, Romney, Terrorism, Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pKuKY-gLq Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
