The Brisbane Times quotes a Facebook rep as saying hate groups will be removed if reported.
We call bullshit.
‘Fuck Off We’re Full‘ (FOWF) has been reported to Facebook as a ToS violator over and over and over. Former FOWF admin Terrie-Anne Verney even got the sack from her job at community radio station 2MIA for the vilifying tripe she posted in the group. FOWF founder/admin & xenophobic bigot Darrin Hodges and his mates post commentary such as this:
Darrin Hodges - They shoulda aimed higher
Shooting asylum seekers ‘regrettable’ | The Daily Telegraph
THE Federal Government has described as “regrettable” the shooting of two suspected asylum seekers whose boat was intercepted by the Indonesian coast guard.
Kevin Downey Leeanne Styles - They were only wounded.. Shooter was obviously not up to scratch with his aim!!
Dave Starr - 2 down another 76 to go………..
Nicholas Hunter Folkes - Dave, this is not the Ocenaic Viking with the 78 criminals on board but another boat carrying 61 Afghans. More unskilled labour for the dole queues while Aussies are displaced on every level of society.
Dave Starr - ok, same shit , differant day……
Jonathan Paul - I would call it ”understandable” they are in Indonesian waters and they are showing no respect to the Indonesian authorities, I doubt they will change if they get here.
Nathan Townsend - use bombs instead of bullets!
Mike Him Self - Nathan with the economy in a shambles bullets work out cheaper(if there all headshots).
Nathan Townsend - as long as they don’t miss and end up having to hand out jobs, free health, housing and transport to the bastards.
…and yet FOWF remains online, even as we speak.
Facebook obviously approves of the content on FOWF- or it’d be off their system.
Groups rile against ‘Hatebook’

November 17, 2009 - 9:11AMSocial networking site Facebook has come under pressure to better regulate its content as racist and offensive groups continue to proliferate on the site.
Facebook has a ban on “content that is hateful [and] threatening” and a spokeswoman for the site told brisbanetimes.com.au that there was no place for racism “or any form of hate speech” on Facebook.
“We will remove anything of this nature that is reported to us,” she said.
