Facebook Leaves Up Hate Site Targeted At Fibromyalgia Sufferers
After months of several people reporting a hate page targeted towards a disabling illness. Facebook continues to leave the fan page up.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) Nov 03, 2010 Is this freedom of speech? Or hate?
"ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS OF THIS PAGE: This is a major butthurt zone. A large number of fans on this page have a fake disease and will threaten you if you do not agree with their fairy tales. BEWARE"
Those are the words the owner of the fan page Fibromyalgia is Bullshi* on facebook has posted. That post is one of the "PG" ones that can be published in this press release. The group owner also posts pictures of people with fibromyalgia, taunts them, and posts many other degrading posts towards those with the chronic pain condition called fibromyalgia. He believes that the 6 Million people that have fibromyalgia are just lazy and that it is a fake condition.
Jen Reynolds founder and creator of www.Fibrotv.com says, "I understand that people have freedom of speech in this country but to target a group of sick people is not just ethically wrong it is discriminatory. If I made a fan page that said (Insert race here or sexual orientation) people are Bullshi* it would be taken down immediately. With all the news about cyber bullying you would think facebook would be quick to take ANY hate site down. it should not be tolerated"

I have never gone on FB, and now have another reason not to. Ugh. I believe in freedom of speech but there are such things as libel and slander. A pity no one applies those laws to the internet.
I feel snarly alot!
The wasted energy is people worrying about or getting angry over this stuff. You know the truth. So does the AMA, the CDC, NIH, Social Security, and a lot of others who actually matter. Let it go. It's been up for some time and hundreds if not thousands have complained. If they take this page down where do you draw the line in censoring opinions? We dignify it by paying attention. Ignore ignore ignore
THEY win if you care. Someone has some ugly motivation; pray for them if you're a praying sort. Otherwise, forget it....
