In case you were wondering why I dumped Facebook… or even if you weren’t wondering…their duplicity and back-to-front, upside-down, viewpoint on social issues was a big reason. Consider the following two news clips.
The first was how people complained about an anti-Semite page depicting Jews as blood thirsty baby killers. The second was a reenactment of the old 1950’s Coppertone commercial with the little girl’s butt exposed. The first one was okay. The second one got the page owner banned for a day until she agreed to delete the bare bottom photo. Really?
You might be the richest man in the world now Zuckerberg, but you aren’t getting there from me. You’d think a Jew would be a little more put off by being characterized as a baby killer. Putz.
A Facebook page calling for the death of Israeli Jews does not violate the social network’s “community standards,” according to multiple messages sent by Facebook in response to user complaints.
The page in question, is named, “Death to zionst baby killer israeli jews.” The page, which spells “Zionist” incorrectly, features an Image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire with blood dripping down his chin as he feasts on a child. It was started on July 25.
Individuals complaining about the page were greeted with the following message (screen captured below):
We reviewed your report of Death to zionst baby killer israeli jews. Thank you for taking the time to report something that you feel may violate our Community Standards. Reports like yours are an important part of making Facebook a safe and welcoming environment. We reviewed the Page you reported for containing hate speech or symbols and found it doesn’t violate our Community Standards.

Cheri Irwin once had the most famous derriere in America- She was the original Coppertone baby!
Today she turned 59 and came to the defense of the mom who just caused a stir for reenacting that now iconic Coppertone ad.
“I think it’s innocent and we need to relax,” said Irwin.
Over the July 4th weekend, Jill White, a professional photographer from Hickory, North Carolina, took a photo at the beach of her daughter Willa and Willa’s best friend. One little girl’s bathing suit was pulled down, exposing her bare bottom, just like the Coppertone ad from 1953.
“She captured an innocent moment,” said Irwin. “The girls looked beautiful.”
But Facebook didn’t agree. It banned White from the site for 24 hours, saying the image “fit the criteria of nudity or pornography.”
