“Rogue employees?”
Is that anything like “unexpected?”
Sounds like the IRS.
It’s always a consequence-less slap on the wrist for leftists.
“may have”???????
Kinda like those “rogue” IRS employees in Cincinnati that were being mean to TEA Party groups.
Rogue? Don’t they mean rouge?
As in “red to the bone”?
This is just another liberal lie.
In the intelligence community this is called a “limited Hangout” where low hanging fruit is sacrificed to cover-up the real movers behind the assorted crimes & wrong-doings.
Just like the IRS
I see....the old “Lois Lerner” defense.
FUFB
“Rogue employees”? You mean they hired liberals who behaved like liberals, right? And now they’ll get “re-trained”...
Would you people FORCE Facebook to change its own policies? Kinda sounds like forcing a bakery to bake a cake for a gay couple.
We are free to protest Facebook, boycott Facebook, and start our own social media empire. But enough is enough with calling for Facebook to alter its internal policies.
I’ll believe Fakebook, when I see the list of those canned.
Facebook is so full of crap about this.
A year ago, I reserved a URL with GoDaddy for an online business concept that I expect to launch at the end of this year.
Since I owned (and still own) the URL, I decided to see about setting up a Facebook page for my business. I know that there are many pages that have the same name. For example, if you do a FB search on “Jane Smith,” many FB pages will show up with that name.
So I wasn’t entirely suprised that there were already FB pages that used the same name as my business, although none of them offered the same product as I was offering
OK. Fair enough. But when I perused the various pages using the same name, I came across one that was downright pornographic, containing several videos of a guy engaging in very explicit sex acts.
I was horrified at the thought that someone searching for my business FB page might come across a pornographic page, so I reported it.
FB’s jaw-dropping response to my complaint was: “You reported [Page Name] for posting inappropriate content. We reviewed the profile you reported for posting inappropriate content and found it doesn’t violate our Community Standards.”
Keep in mind that Facebook’s so-called “Community Standards” reads in part as follows: “. . . Explicit images of sexual intercourse are prohibited. Descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be removed. Explicit images of sexual intercourse are prohibited. Descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be removed.”
Mind you, the videos on this page could not be more explicit — shot from a camera looking down on the bed as this man was having fully nude above-the-covers sexual intercourse with a young woman.
Not content to leave it there, I went on LinkedIn and found a FB employee whom I contacted with a LinkedIn message explaining what I had seen and my desire to have it removed.
This lady kindly wrote me the following message in reply:
“My first action was to report the content myself, and I received the same response you did and was shocked. I know the policy on pornography has not changed, so this post must be slipping through the cracks via human error. I did speak with a coworker of mine, and unfortunately, we do not possess the authority to go into individuals profiles to remove content (I believe this is a privacy violation, something we would get fired for if we tried to take action against this individual without the profile coming up in our review queue).. If its your new page that you are worried about, the brand identity should be able to distinguish your page versus this person’s profile. It also comes up as a “page” versus a “profile” in searches. The best advice I can offer you at this point is to keep reporting it and hopefully it gets caught soon. I am sorry that there is nothing further that we can do.”
Bottom line: Now, a year later, I just looked up the offending page to see if it is still there. It is. Only the video has changed. Now it has his ladyfriend stark naked on her back while he performs oral sex on her — again, above the covers, from a camera directly overhead.
Needless to say, I abandoned the idea of setting up a Facebook page for my business.
Facebook’s Community Standards are a complete joke.
Let’s see if I read that right...
They admit that there was bias against conservatives... but there was no bias.
Ah, yes. It’s the usual “mistakes were made” by “rogue employees” sophistry. Yada, yada, yada...
The big difference here is that people PAY FOR certain services from FB. And then the FB employees purposely failed to comply with terms of the agreement.
FB is in deep doo doo if they lose a lawsuit- a class action could cost them $billions.
That is why they are playing so nice on this.
So Mark Zuckerberg is a “rogue employee”?
I think Zuck missed his calling. With lines like these he could have been a comedian.
Or an Obama White House spokesmen.
In other news, Facebook admits there may be snow in winter.
