Many right-wing extremist groups organize on Facebook. They organize camping trips, rallies, birthday parties, and sometimes they even organize illegal direct action.
I don't know if Facebook should step in or not because the profiles of these groups are a goldmine of information about their activities. What I do believe however is that any decision to let them continue existing on Facebook should not be made on the basis of respecting their free speech or assembly rights.
- tptacek 17y agoYou clearly know more about this than I do. So, people tell Facebook, "these people are organizing an attack on a grocer like in Romper Stomper", and Facebook leaves them there?
- brl 17y agoMainly they use Facebook for organizing perfectly legal events, as well as keeping in touch with other Nazis. Regarding illegal activity, incitement would be a better way to describe what I've seen than blatant organizing. The loose cannons among them (of which there are plenty) also have a propensity to use social networking sites for self-incrimination. Here's a guy that uploaded pictures to Facebook of himself Nazi saluting in front of worlds-lamest-hate-crime: http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/meet-richard-martin.html http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2009/02/meet-richard-m...
