    :lol:

    I've never heard of them being called 'savoury ducks' as the article claims - who knows where that comes from.

    Reminds me of a kid banned from xbox live for listing his home town as Fort Gay or something similar. Sadly, that was actually the name of his town.

    So Facebook does that, but they don't care about the people spewing hate speech.

    Okay.

    You should have posted videos of people being killed by beheading. You would have been supported by FB for that.

    Since when has Facebook appointed themselves the thought police? I admit I had no clue there was a dish called "faggots" prior to reading the article, and whoever is responsible at Facebook probably didn't know either.

    However, they permit much more hateful content, so why are they becoming the self-appointed censors of the Internet? They have a lot of work to do if they're to succeed in this "mission" which is ill-advised to begin with....

    Well it's not really thought police once it's posted. It's a statement at that point. People get fired over FB comments, so perhaps it's doing them (and the rest of us) a favor where their parents failed to instill common decency.

    Facebook is so inconsistent and all over the board with these kinds of things that it's almost laughable.

    They don't care what you say, as long as you don't use any "bad words".

    In that case, the system is backwards since people spout off the "n word" all the time and never get banned.

    Yeah- Facebook allows things that support rape culture and yet doesn't allow pictures of mothers breastfeeding.
