Report: Facebook A Haven For Hate Groups

I see no mention of Linux, Free Software, or FOSS anywhere in this article.

Facebook may not be FOSS but it hosts FOSS groups and has an impact on the FOSS community. Other that that this is a general tech article, not a Linux article.

@gus3, Why not make the same point about most of the Google articles here?? Sure, they heavily _use_ FOSS and their success draws continued focus and attacks from the M$ giant. Still, it seems to me that the majority of Google-related articles, like this Facebook one, _also_ make no direct mention of Linux or FOSS.

For that matter, what about the articles about Microsoft here?

Google and Microsoft corporations do things that affect the legal standing of Linux and FOSS.

I don't see where Facebook's standing with its users can have any such effect, for good or ill.

As you know, facebook is powered by linux. So obviously, linux is tied to hate groups.

>So obviously, linux is tied to hate groups.

Nothing new there. Unless you're talking about hating somebody other than Microsoft. Well, there is KDE v GNOME, Vi v. EMACS, CLI v. GUI,

Good God! What a terrible bunch of people we are!

Hey, is the system time to Sept 19th yet? We can all talk like pirates and be terrible.

Arrrr. Walk the plank!

The 'delete' and 'future' link are rather close to each other, but I'm not sure if that's the reason for this article to appear.

I have published articles about Facebook before, I did not see why I shouldn't post this one. Facebook has been in the FOSS news before..

Scott, I simply thought that this would be of interest to the FOSS community and the LXer community in particular. That is why I submitted it here.

I also took a stand at the end of the article against government mandated internet censorship, something which has been discussed here at length in the past. I also thought that was relevant.
