Another Bullied Teen takes her life - and is bullied in her Grave on Facebook
Dear Mr Milner / Mr Wolens / Mr Allan
As Directors of policy for Facebook, could you please enlighten me as to why your moderators did not consider it necessary to remove the post 'R.I.P skank bitch' made by user xx on the Hannah Smith Facebook tribute page 'RIP Hannah Smith' ?
Would I be correct in thinking that this is YET ANOTHER example of Facebook allowing people to exercise their 'freedom to reflect the world around them' whilst paying no regard whatsoever to others? Would I be further correct in saying that yet again, as with the xx page which was filled with porn, Facebook really could not give a damn about what anyone writes about deceased children? Or maybe I've got it entirely wrong and the comment 'R.I.P skank bitch' is humourous in another culture, perhaps even in the little bubble that you chaps live in, and that this is just someones attempt to be funny and it's going right over my head? Yes, that'll be it. After all, when you look at the definitions of each word, it could so easily be.
skank (skngk)
n.
1. A rhythmic dance performed to reggae or ska music, characterized by bending forward, raising the knees, and extending the hands.
2. Disgusting or vulgar matter; filth.
3. One who is disgustingly foul or filthy and often considered sexually promiscuous. Used especially of a woman or girl.
bitch
n.
1.
a female dog: The bitch won first place in the sporting dogs category.
2.a female of canines generally.
3.Slang. A malicious, unpleasant, selfish person, especially a woman. A lewd woman. Disparaging and Offensive.
4. Slang. A person who performs demeaning tasks for another; servant: Tom is so her bitch; she just ordered him to go fetch her some pizza—and he went without a word.
5.Slang. A convict who is in a homosexual relationship and/or dominant relationship willingly or unwillingly in the prison setting: The new inmate was immediately forced to be the bitch of the prison's top dog.
It's certainly interesting to know that Facebook is absolutely no better than the likes of Ask.fm in dealing with hate speech. The user xx has basically posted 'Rest in peace you disgustingly foul and sexually promiscuous, malicious, unpleasant, selfish woman' on the tribute page of a 14 year old who took her own life due to bullying, and yet it doesn't violate your community standards! How can this be? What planet are your moderators on? What safeguards does Facebook actually have in place to protect vulnerable youngsters? Your response to my report on this issue sends us all the plain and simple message: NONE.
Your safeguards and reporting system is useless as myself and many others are constantly telling you. Facebook is an utter disgrace to society and how the morals of you three men actually allow you to take a salary from a company that does nothing to control such vile hatred is simply beyond me. You should be ashamed of yourselves and resign your positions with immediate effect, having consistently failed at every opportunity to address the major issues that exist on the Facebook network.
As ever, I would appreciate answers. As ever, I don't expect to get any.

Why are women being chloroformed on Facebook? ***Trigger Warning
Dear Mr Simon Milner / Lord Allan
Could you please explain why pages and personal profiles with images depicting women being chloroformed are present on the Facebook network?
https://www.facebook.com/ChloroformedSexyGirl
Is it due to Facebook's interpretation of Article 10 of the European Convention of Human
Rights and your belief that "people should be free to be pretty offensive online –
there should be a broad range of offensive content that one can publish
within the law" ?
I personally fail to see any valid purpose for such imagery and strongly believe that such imagery only serves to degrade women and encourage violent, abusive behaviour and rape.
I look forward to your response and justification of the hundreds of Facebook pages that exist for this particular
'niche'.
Regards
Alexandra Blue

'Persian Girls who likes Bondage'
Dear Mr Simon Milner
As both a woman and a mother I am utterly sickened by the continued presence of Facebook pages which display large galleries of images of women who are bound and gagged, and which proliferate across the Facebook network. Despite assurances from Facebook that they would "do more" and "be better" tackling such imagery, nothing has changed.
WHY?!
Let me present to you the Facebook page 'Persian Girls who likes Bondage'
This page features a gallery with over 100 images of women bound heavily with ropes around their ankles, legs, torsos, some spreadeagled on beds by having each limb restrained to each corner of the bed, nearly all are gagged, some are tied up and in the boots of cars, one has a funnel strapped to her mouth etc etc Over 8000 people have 'liked' this page and many of the photos have been shared hundreds of times.
Take a look at the screenshots attached. It turns my stomach to see women being treated in this way for the amusement and gratification of men, degraded and being physically restrained so that they can feel superior. What effect does it have on you Simon? Does it disgust you too or couldn't you give a damn? Is it just a bit of light-hearted titillation that doesn't cause any harm? Or maybe it's, as Facebook like to say, someone exercising their "freedom to reflect the world around them"?
I'll tell you what this is Simon. This is gender based hate and Facebook are doing NOTHING to rid the network of it.
What kind of signal does this send to children of 13 years old who see this kind of imagery? What does it say to young boys, that it is okay to treat women in this way for your pleasure and amusement? Just what kind of company does Facebook think it is that it can pollute the minds of our children and provide visual stimulus for sick perverts?
Today you aren't being presented with your advertisers brands alongside these images. You are being presented with YOU, Simon Milner, alongside. YOU. Your profile being recommended as a page to follow, appearing again and again alongside this content. Facebook is an absolute shambles and can't even manage to restrict the profile of its Director of Policy UK from appearing next to vile content, let alone all the poor companies who have naively entrusted you with their brands!
I want answers Simon. Answers as to why you didn't continue the phone conversation you scheduled for Monday 1st July. Answers as to why this kind of content still proliferates on Facebook. Answers as to why CSA content still proliferates on Facebook. Answers as to why Facebook is more interested in trying to protect advertisers than it is the children and women who suffer as a result of the content that you refuse to remove.
And I demand these answers today Simon.
Be under absolutely no illusion, myself and others will continue to show your advertisers, the media, childrens groups, womens groups and politicians exactly what kind of filth Facebook host and facilitate the sharing of until Facebook take responsibility for all this content, remove it and prevent more being added.
No more excuses. No more changes of policy to just protect advertisers. No more lies about children not being able to access this content.
Answers NOW!

Armchair Rapists
“It would be a mistake to think that
rape is reducible to the physical act of a few men who are rapists. This
ignores the existence of the countless armchair rapists who vicariously enjoy
the act through reading pornography or news stories about it. It also overlooks
the fact that all men have their power enhanced by rape, since this instills in
women a need for protection.” ~Mary Daly
