Bigots not Boobs!

Timbre's Facebook is going down until they become rational.

Breasts not Jooohaters!

When your grandmother and neonazis are on facebook, it's no longer cool.

OMG--this is too easy. It's a "gimme" boob thread. There's no challenge here.//

BTW, these people are idiots

Finally a thread where we can talk about boobs and not be off topic...

Save the Tatas!

Facebook is going down. Has been for some time.

grrr 52 sec too late...

meh, not a surprise. a picture of my unloaded glock 17 on a table was removed, but I was able to find pictures of keffiyeh masked idiots posing with possibly real ak-47's.

i guess im a gun nut, but they're freedom fighters.

A minute and a half until launch!

"Even, apparently, the discussion of the idea that someone might be a 'N-gger faggot, Jew nosed c-nt.' "

So what if I'm a n-gger faggot Jew nosed c-nt? I'm a n-gger faggot Jew nosed c-nt and I'm proud of it. Aside from the ignorant terminology, nothing is wrong with any of those identifiers.

Is Zuckerman Jewish?

Well there goes my idea for a facebook Holocaust Denying Breast Feeding Club.

Another example of those who have taken on the role of facilitating communications failing to exercise good judgment when it comes to monitoring the playground. Disappointing to say the least.

Perhaps it is time to rethink using Facebook as a took to connect my family?

Ebay had problems with this stuff too. People are not even allowed to sell WW2 Nazi gear to collectors in some EU countries. I have a feeling facebook will need to regulate that stuff if they don't want to end up in EU courts. The law aside...it's vulgar to allow it when you do not have to.

Liftoff !

What about breast-feeding neo-Nazis? Bet that puts them in a quandary.

dang, I have to see one of those launches in person before I croak

re: #23 turn

Maybe they could take your ashes into space?

Just wondering if people are keeping track of who are posting vulgar comments on that Facebook group and investigating where they live and where they work and let their boss know about their "off duty" activities?
Has anyone talked about shining a spotlight on these haters?

bewbs > Joo haters

This means we need to start a new, more popular social networking site...bewb-book. I think it will be a runaway hit.

Revealing more about yerself there, Zombie. ;)

While I am not one that would be interested in discussing breastfeeding, the very idea that the subject gets censored while virulent anti-Semitism is promoted, not just accepted, is beyond the pale of even the normal hypocrisy of the Left.

But we on the Right are the haters, correct? The Left is all about tolerance.

With Craig's List you know upfront what you are getting, sleaze.

You know, the really strange thing here is trying to imagine the staff meeting where they review these policies.

I breast fed all of my kids, often in public places. If you know how to sling a blanket correctly, no one will see a thing. If you're showing enough skin in a breastfeeding photo that Facebook has to remove it, you're doing it wrong.

Oh, and holocaust deniers suck.

re: #48 FurryOldGuyJeans

I'm glad it's getting some some attention. Having two major blogs comment about it might actually get some changes made at places like Facebook.

That is absolutely sickening. I have a facebook account and I do like to keep in touch w/ people but I'm really rethinking that. I can always start my own family blog and upload pictures and all sorts o' news about the fam. I'd make a crappy blogger but I do know Drupal ...

The breastfeeding "ban" has been blown way out of proportion.

They remove photos that contain nudity, not necessarilly because they depict breastfeeding.

They didn't remove these:

re: #51 AMER1CAN

Why look what we have here! Facebook executives read the blogs!

Some Holocaust denial groups disappear from Facebook

Following a concerted campaign by Dallas attorney, Brian Cuban, brother of entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Facebook appears to have begun to take down some of the Holocaust denial groups about which Brian Cuban complained.

Brian Cuban pointed to five specific groups.

As of 8:30 a.m. PDT Monday, "Holocaust: A Series of Lies", "Holohoax," and "Holocaust is a Myth" were still live.

However, "Based on the facts...there was no Holocaust" and "Holocaust is a Holohoax" appear to have been taken down.

TechCrunch on Monday also weighed in on the issue, with a headline echoing last week's Q&A with Facebook spokesperson, Barry Schnitt here at Technically Incorrect.

In the Q&A, Schnitt drew a distinction between Holocaust denial and another recent Facebook controversy, images of breastfeeding. Michael Arrington's headline puts it in stark terms: "Jew Haters are Welcome at Facebook as Long as they Aren't Lactating."

Odd, my link did not work in that first one. Here it is again.

Some Holocaust denial groups disappear from Facebook

Well, and what about the numerous Facebook groups titled "Fuck Islam", the largest of which currently has almost 5,000 members? Should they be banned?

Just sayin'.

And then there are these:

Fuck Racism
Fuck Nationalism
Fuck Christianity
Fuck Judaism
Fuck Hinduism
Fuck Catholicism
Fuck Mormonism
Fuck Scientology
Fuck Buddhism
Fuck Satanism
Fuck religion
Fuck Atheism

Which to ban, which to allow? My, my, it's tough having free speech.

re: #54 broomer

I've heard of that one. I'll check it out. I'm actually trying to evaluate different CMS platforms, so I'm tinkering with Drupal now... pretty much because my tiny little mind (and my schedule) can't handle more than one thing at a time.

re: #13 SecondComing

Yes, the founder and CEO of Facebook is Jewish, as is

I'm not on Facebook or My Space. Nor do I plan to be. I'm sooo un-hip, and damn proud of it.

re: #58 Cato the Elder

1st Ammendment doesn't apply to private enterprise. They can ban or allow whatever they want, and we can choose to be sickened by it or not.

I'm well aware of the private/public distinction. Doesn't remove the difficulty.

Should Facebook become a sanitized PC arena?

re: #65 Cato the Elder

Good point, but I'll point to this blog as an illustration of my point. Charles does, and should, moderate his online community aggressively. There are things I am not allowed to say here, and that's fine with me. Yet I don't think LGF has hardly become a sanitized "PC" arena. Quite the contrary, I actually feel better posting here because I know that it will be pretty civil and people will think before they write.

I just don't think "free speech" can or should apply to private endeavors. Facebook (like this blog) should decide what it stands for (or against), and stand unequivocally.

Just cowards.

re: #66 PatriotLizardoid

[...] I just don't think "free speech" can or should apply to private endeavors. Facebook (like this blog) should decide what it stands for (or against), and stand unequivocally.

Then it will sooner or later be forced into becoming a sanitized PC arena where anything in the least off-color or offensive to someone, somewhere will be banned.

The point is I could sign on to "ruck facism", "nuck fationalism", "scuck Fientology" and plenty of other "xuck FYZ" groups, but as a Catholic I'm offended by the "cuck Fatholicism" one. Yet I feel I have to tolerate it. If I don't, and I put up a mockery group called "ruck Fush Limbaugh", I can't expect it to remain there.

Yes, I know Holocaust denial is banned in X countries. Not in the US, though. Facebook will probably have to monitor international access accordingly. Or something equally complicated and messy.

I'm for letting the Holocaust deniers say whatever they want. Ditto Muslims. Ditto Pamela Geller. Ditto Robert Spencer. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Mehr Licht!

Soon enough, Geller will label him a JINO.

Never joined Facebook, nor Myspace, and never will. Shit like that is just one of the reasons.

And the principle of free speech does not mean that one is obliged to provide a platform for haters. Let them take their crap to Stormfront.

re: #71 Alberta Oil Peon

Never joined Facebook, nor Myspace, and never will. Shit like that is just one of the reasons. ...

Well it's still the most popular social networking sites. So what happens there really matters.

Try a search for pro- and con- islam groups there. You will see that there are groups dedicated to eradicating and closing down all anti-islam groups (they state that 40.000 votes are needed to close down any group and they do this with all anti-islam groups that pop up). These flash-groups have more than 200.000 members and they can actually make a difference as to what groups people are able to join.

It's very difficult to find any anti-islamic groups in FB.

re: #17 ilzito guacamolito

Yes, plus I got a warning about how the picture is considered offensive.

I can understand their position. It's very hard to define acceptable vs unacceptable speech, and the worst that unrestricted speech tends to cause is a cesspool of nutjobs calling each other names. But nudity is easier to define, and breastfeeding is one of the few grey areas. If you don't restrict nudity then you start to get arguments over salacious vs non-salacious images, and pretty soon you've got people using Facebook to swap pornography.

Send evidence to Charles. This is stuff that needs to be posted up front.

re: #68 Cato the Elder

scuck Fientology

Maybe its just been a long day but I I really found that one funny.

#62 has it spot on. Facebook has every bit as much a right to be anti-breastfeeding and pro-Judenhass, as Charles has to run YouTube videos of (fair-use) jazz band concerts, and articles about Nazis and Saudis (if I'm not being overly redundant). If Facebook want to be Stormfront For Prudes!^TM, they're welcome to that niche market.

We are likewise free to castigate them for it.

At any rate, Facebook seems to understand that the antiSemitism over there isn't helping its brand, and is laying about with its ban stick. But if they're going after the easy targets like neo-nazi misfits from Idaho, and not bothering with Hezbollah groupies, that's not good enough, and interested lizards need to pursue it.

(I'm thinking of activating my dormant Facebook account over this...)

"Not ignoring the deniers does not mean engaging them in discussion or debate. In fact, it means not doing that. We cannot debate them for two reasons, one strategic and the other tactical. As we have repeatedly seen, the deniers long to be seen as the “other” side. Engaging them in discussion makes them exactly that. Second, they are contemptuous of the very tools that shape any honest debate: truth and reason. Debating them would be like trying to nail jelly to a wall."

-Deborah Lipstadt 1993

Those who defend Holocaust deniers and those who willingly ally themselves with Holocaust deniers are themselves no better then the deniers themselves.

And I think you know who I'm talking about...

Okay, I'm on Facebook and I searched "Palestine intifada". I got 87 matches. The spanish language one against Israeli "fascismo" has 1,831 members.

I do not find anyone posing with an AK-47. I find instead the usual gaggle of lowlifes one used to dig up on MySpace: young ladies kissing each other in a bar, pictures of people getting drunk in a bar, pictures of underclothed men hoping someone will notice them, pictures of womens' cleavage, pictures of men in mohawks; and if it's not pictures of people, it's pictures of the Happy Bunny, pictures of Homer Simpson, pictures of young Fidel Castro, pictures of little dogs, pictures of the hammer-n-sickle etc etc etc.

It's basically "cool" to be a murderous antiSemite these days worldwide, and so all the insecure kids of the world are joining these groups.

re: #77 Zimriel

Facebook has every bit as much a right to be anti-breastfeeding and pro-Judenhass, as Charles has to run YouTube videos of (fair-use) jazz band concerts, and articles about Nazis and Saudis (if I'm not being overly redundant).

I have a hard time believing that a networking
site founded by a Zuckerberg and a Moskovitz has any ulterior motives
against Jews.

Their new COO is a Sandberg

They've got 200 million users. Going about deciding
where to draw the line on content, and then actually
implementing procedures to block or delete such groups,
is a huge undertaking.

As was posted on LGF a little while back, it's hardly
limited to anti-semetism. There's a facebook group advocating for the annihilation of the Turkish population,
so Istanbul can be restored to Constantinople.

I'm no Facebook fan, but their policies more or less parallel American law, in which Judenhass is political speech and Constitutionally protected, whereas pictures of boobies^* are potentially pornography and not Constitutionally protected.^†

^*Not to be confused with pictures of boobies.
^†Under the "unless they really want to" interpretation of "Congress shall make no law".

re: #81 Etaoin Shrdlu

Fine, then the vile filth that regularly appears on Facebook is offensive and anti-social. It tears society apart instead of fostering any meaningful dialogue. You can defend it's constitutionality 'til tomorrow, but I liken it to a restaurant that serves dog sh-t on a bun. Anyone with an iota of good taste would never set foot in that establishment. Let the racist bastards have the site all to themselves. They can wallow in their own dog sh-t. If the free market simply ignores Facebook, it will soon disappear. Boycott Facebook.

re: #80 Hawaii69

I have a hard time believing that a networking

So you think there is no such thing as a Jewish anti-semite? Have you ever heard of Norman Finkelstein?

"whine...they're bashing facebook now!"

One should make the distinction between an image of breastfeeding and holocaust denial. For starters, one is an image, and one is content. So first we make those distinctions.

Now, pornographic images are banned. No one is disputing any rules there. No need for a slippery slope. Everyone knows what's okay to post and what's not because images are visual and especially striking when you see pornographic images.

Content falls into a different category. Where does one draw the line to avoid the slippery slope?

Commonsense.

But that's never going to happen.

So we have to rely on other ways to drive out this type of idiot nonsense about holocaust denial. If having it out in the open for debate and so we can see all these idiots is the best way, then by all means, shine the light on them and hope they scatter.

I however think a different, more stringent approach should be used with cases such as holocaust denial. I don't entirely know what the best way is but I don't think Facebook has any obligation to allow these hate groups to roam their communities and use their services to encourage holocaust denial.

re: #83 tsionguy

Kinda like an anti-US American, right? By the way, did anyone else read about some school in California called Montebello High School where they replaced the US flag with the Mexican flag and then underneath the Mex flag, placed the US flag upside down and then raised both? Where' Montebello?

I have to wonder about women who feel the need to showcase their breastfeeding on Facebook or Youtube or anywhere for that matter. In a park, on a bus, in real life in real time I can understand but on Facebook?
Go ahead call me a prude.

...And this is why I'm not on facebook.

Nazis and white nationalists are doing a hell of a job of infesting the internet with their lies. Look at what they've done at youtube.
