Ask HN: Facebook doesn't react on terrorists recruiting post, what to do?
The biggest facebook page in Russian openly recruiting terrorist, but moderators don't respond to reports. I submitted several reports, but no reaction. I assume they simply don't understand what is the problem. Post includes detailed instruction how to join terrorist organisation "army of novorossiya", which is responsible of downing MH17 and many more crimes. There is link.

- Someone1234 12y ago> which is responsible of downing MH17 and many more crimes {{Citation Needed}} I googled it and all I see is that the Ukrainian government pointed the finger in their direction. However the Germans are blaming the Russian government's military forces in the region. Seems like an organisation of Ukrainians and Russians, likely financed by Russia, fighting in the occupied/contested region of Ukraine. Have to say if they did or did not down MH17, nobody can be too sure either way. However realistically it is hard to believe a rag tag group of "terrorists" could operate a modern anti-aircraft system such as the Buk missile system.
- eu22 12y agoYes, I remember that day when MH17 was downed, with my friends we collected photos from different sources and they all showed the same "Buk" around the that time (ground-air missile) in the Torez city which was under control of "army of novorossiya". "Buk" came from Russia, there are also few videos and photos, and with very high probability crew was also from Russia. Germans came to the same conclusion
- MisterWebz 12y agoWho are you calling terrorists? A bus in the rebel stronghold Donetsk just got blown up and 13 civilians died. Do you think the rebels bombed themselves?
- eu22 12y agoYep, they are terrorist. And, yes, they did. Read the piece in Guardian or elsewhere, location where bus was blown up is more than 15 kilometres away from the closest Ukrainian forces location. Max distance of mortar - 10km.
- eu22 12y agoArtillery unit which is more capable would left much destruction. So with no doubt shot was made in 10km radius. This territory is under control of terrorists
- eu22 12y agoWhy would they do it? To provoke hate to Ukrainian forces.
- MisterWebz 12y agoThere's a military base in use by rebels just 500m from the site of the attack. It looks like the Ukrainian military or the volunteer battalions missed their target. But I'm not here to convince you of anything, seeing as you've already made up your mind.
- eu22 12y agoI repeat. If it would "Grad" or "Uragan" it would left much more destruction. So it was mortar, which max shooting distance is 10km. If you measure on Google Maps or elsewhere distance from Ukrainian forces position to the blast site it would be around 15 km. I would listen if you provide real argument, not just russian-zombie-tv-shit.
- eu22 12y agoThere is also tons of videos which confirm that those monkeys are shooting from living blocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPzaY3ctbhg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPzaY3ctbhg&feature=youtu.be
- kumarski 12y agoFacebook bots? I wish I could read Russian, the memes are probably worth reading. You could probably hire a facebook bot 'like' network to 'report' a photo. You'd have to message the right people.

- eu22 12y agoNo, it's actually one of the biggest page in Russia on Facebook, with 400k followers.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> The biggest facebook page in Russian openly recruiting terrorist, but moderators don't respond to reports. I submitted several reports, but no reaction. I suppose you could complain to, e.g., the US FBI about Facebook knowingly providing material support to terrorists.
- eu22 12y agoI thought about it, but it will probably take month or so
- wmf 12y agoJust report it as a hoax; I hear Facebook is cracking down on those.
- eu22 12y agoTheir moderation process is a huge mess, that's for sure.
