Since then, it would appear that little has changed.
Yesterday I happened upon a video by a FB group entitled Refugee Resettlement, below which was an invitation to learn more at Act For America, which describes itself as "the NRA of national security." Take a look if you want to get a flavour of their 'concerns.' I watched the group's video which, in my view, is an exercise in fear-mongering and anti-Muslim sentiment, and it does violate my standards, but apparently not those of Facebook. Here is the reply I got about my complaint:
Thank you for taking the time to report something that you feel may violate our Community Standards. Reports like yours are an important part of making Facebook a safe and welcoming environment. We reviewed the video you reported for displaying hate speech and found it doesn't violate our Community Standards.Well, perhaps not everyone, as the video below makes clear:
Please let us know if you see anything else that concerns you. We want to keep Facebook safe and welcoming for everyone.
.. its not totally clear from her rant.. if she's anti immigrant.. or just anti Islamic.. Her accent sounds vaguely Arab with hints of Friench". Weird. Is she Egyptian? Or? She is almost certainly an immigrant.. but only thinks certain non infadels should be allowed in.. so she must be gospel resding new fangled christian.. or worse, morman. Regardless, it something or someone - far up there in the sky thzt only the faultless & exalted ones like her.. can truly appreciate. The rest of us are f_cked.. its hell & brimstone - no rapture or St Peter for us sinners
ReplyDeleteI believe she is originally from Lebanon, Salamander. Something tells me she is not of the Muslim faith.
DeleteI agree completely, Pamela. Facebook also asked me in their response how I would rate my experience, and I sent a note back asking them to explain how the post is consistent with their community standards. So far, there has been no response.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of thing also represents the dark side of the Internet, Pamela, where everyone with an opinion can, no matter how benighted or ugly, find a community that will praise such boldness as "not being a slave to political correctness."
