The way in which Facebook polices content on its network is under scrutiny again after it was revealed that a post in which a user called for white women to be “hunted and killed” was deemed to not be a violation of community standards.

There does seem to be an evil agenda going on with Facebook, Twitter, Google and a few others.

So killing white women for being bigots or for their ability to perhaps give birth to bigots is ok with you? Is killing black, Asian, and Hispanic women bigots or for their ability to perhaps give birth to bigots also acceptable to you?

The race relations are horrible right now.

I'm against killing any women and I would be generally opposed to killing white male bigots without cause, but I understand that others might be for it...

Not been a good month for Facebook.

First they were involved in a BBC Investigation in to inappriopriate pictures of children, which they refused to delete, before reporting the BBC to the National Crime Agency when they showed Facebook the images that were actually on their own Facebook website.

The images have now finally been deleted by Facebook.

Then they were made to answer questions in front of a parliamentary select committee, who were very critical of their moderation policies in relation to hate speech.

The crack down on free speech, by the monopoly of the town squares soapbox is not being taken lightly.
Party politics is going to be ruled forms of religion. Where discriminating against a person because of politics will be punishable by law.

It really depends on the level of hate and if there is a credible threat.

For instance I am all for taking down videos promoting Islamic violence and terror from the internet.

However mere criticism of a religion or group is not a hate crime.

Where there is a specific threat that makes some fearful or would cause a normal person alarm or distress, it would constitute a crime, such as murder and rape threats, whilst continued harassment or stalking would also be deemed a crime.

The authorities are generally more concerned if there is a credible threat or when someone is harassed or stalked to such an extent that it interfers with their lives and well being or causes serious levels of alarm and distress.
