29. I reported it as hate speech rather than violence

Mon Mar 4, 2013, 08:26 PM

Mar 2013

It seemed that it didn't exactly fall into any of the "violence" categories--technically, that is--that Facebook has so thoughtfully provided, which might be why it's still up, but I think it's pretty inarguably hate speech against somebody based on gender, which is one of Facebook's own categories.

I don't know whether other people have tried that too or just gone with reporting it as violence, which normal people would consider it to be. Sheesh. If there was a pro-lynching page, would they leave it up this long, too? I've been reading all day about how people have been reporting it, yet there it still is. Disgusting.
