'' if you don't know what you're talking about, why post? do a little reading, bro. you're way behind. of course, I wouldn't expect a white man to know the first thing about hate speech and censorship. two words: MALE PRIVILEGE. -Kaitlyn Newton''

'' I did not mean any offence, but it is a free service and he and his company have no obligations to bow to every complaint, so I reiterate, why use it?''

It is not a free service. It is paid for with advertising. And, what many of us are objecting to is that women are being exploited in the worst way possible to attract traffic. ie We question why pages which promote violence against women are allowed to remain on facebook.
Is it because these sick pages attract traffic and thus more add revenue? And, why are photos of women breast feeding removed? Because they don't attract add revenue? We are not willing to be exploited in this way, for the sake of increasing add revenue for facebook. Also, even if the service was free, we would still object to an environment which exploits women in this way. ie If something promotes violence against women, it should concern all socially conscious women, and men too.

''Women/men on Facebook close down your account for 24 hours in protest to Facebook´s lack of action when it comes to removing rape pages, images and rape- and violence jokes against women.
Facebook is sending out the message that it is ok to rape and, degrade girls and women, but the female body and breastfeeding is offensive and needs to be censored.
We are saying NO to this and closing our account for 24 hours''

Please, report as follows and then send an email to the email addresses as appropriate. That will help us keep track of whether facebook is taking steps to keep itself clean of this type of abuse, as they said they would during or recent protest. ”It’s important to note that our campaign and Facebook’s commitment specifically address content that glorifies, promotes or makes light of violence against women and girls. : : So, depending on what you have to report, here’s how to do it: For content that glorifies, promotes or makes light of violence against women and girls: First, report it to Facebook using their standard reporting system. If the content has been reported and Facebook has declined to remove it, email us, and we’ll take further action.
