#15 Blackface
Verdict: Does NOT violate community standards!
What was reported:
(This is the same person who repeatedly posted in Blackface. She had a comment on her post about it, but it was converted to private. We know it wasn't removed because the pictures weren't.)

Crediting Reports
Some of this Facebook content was reported by me. Most of it has been reported by others, and either sent to me or I retrieved it from Facebook conversations or Twitter. Some of the same content had been reported by others. To protect the reporters (some of whom have been threatened), I am keeping all postings anonymous.

1,000 Facebook Posts
How many pieces of evidence do you think we need before Facebook will listen?
100?
How about 1,000?
My goal is to have 1,000 incidents recorded. I plan on getting this noticed by the greater Facebook community and by the media, not to mention Facebook.
I can't do this without your help.
Please send me your screenshots. Send them to FBCommunityStandards At gmail dot com. If you don't have any right now, trust me, you can make more! There is plenty of horrible content on Facebook just ready to be reported.
We need some guidelines, because I do not want any doubt about the validity of these posts. So here are some helpful hints:

We need some guidelines, because I do not want any doubt about the validity of these posts. So here are some helpful hints:
- Take a screenshot of the offensive item. A comment, posting, page, group name or picture are all applicable.
- Although this shouldn't be required, please try to make sure this is reported in the right category.
- After reporting the item, you will inevitably get a result of your report. Take a screenshot of that.
- Send both.
If you are banned and/or your content removed because of your own comment, posting, etc., do the same. The report that you receive will contain the content, so you should be good there.
Hope this helps. Let's get these recorded!

A Note About Complaint Volume
When a post is reported for violating Facebook's Community Standards, it seems like the first result is to claim the post doesn't violate community standards, and leave it up.
When a number of people report the post, Facebook re-evaluates it's decision and then decides to remove the offending item.
We don't know what that number is. It would be interesting to find out.
Some of these postings on this blog are still up to this day. Some of them have been taken down after dozens of reports.
That begs the question---if it didn't violate community standards before, why does it now?
P.S. IF the reason the first results are because of a program, and not a human, that is just as bad. Almost worse, even. That would tell me Facebook is only throwing lip service to it's community standards. But, given the amount of legit items being removed immediately, I don't think so.

I'm not the only one who is angry.
Check this blog post out: https://thekinfolkkollective.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/mark-zuckerberg-how-about-you-show-your-support-for-ahmed-by-actually-following-your-community-standards-a/
Couldn't have said it better myself.

What's This About?
Facebook has community standards. And they have a team of people that evaluate complaints when users report pictures, pages, or comments/postings.
It's interesting that racism, sexism, and religious intolerance amongst other types of hate speech are tolerated but those who fight for equality and against injustice are considered violating community standards.
Who is looking at these? How could this be?
This needs to stop. Now.
Mark Zuckerberg, please hear us. Stop the hate on Facebook.
