"I hate Gandhi"

WTH is wrong with facebook? We, at GS, would take down such a thread within minutes. What’s facebook’s excuse for allowing such disgusting groups?

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Forget the hateful groups on Prophet saw, there was even a FB group calling for death on that woman who threw the cat in the bin (remember her?) I don’t get it! Why don’t they just take these groups down?

the guy didn’t wear proper cloth…no wonder :chai:

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

Facebook is going through a maturity phase. Its obvious that its going to take one group at a time. Dont you remember the 'draw Mohammed day' thread because of which Pakistan banned FB in the country. FB took it down then. They will remove this page also.

Re: “I hate Gandhi”

FB love the attention such melodramatics create. :slight_smile:

Personally I can see where this would lead… Team A v Team B but then Team C want to get involved and then in comes Teams D, E, F and G and then before you know it everyone hates everyone and it’s every face for itself! :faris:

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

About time they develop a firm policy in relation to hate mongering on facebook.

Faris, Team A, the creators of this group are also Indians. Team B, the opponents, said this could result in a riot. Now that's serious.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

Facebook is phenomenal with it's reach & power. Look at the Tunisia revolution or current protests in Egypt.

I don't think so FB have enough manpower to go through all the groups or messages posted by more then half a billion population every single second. Until a Facebook group receive massive attention in media or over the million fans it's not even come on radar of FB security group, i read it somewhere.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

It's sad that they must wait for media attention to, first of all, be made aware of the group and, second of all, to remove such an obviously retarded group.

People have lodged an FIR against this group and facebook still "isn't budging". Now that's got nothing to do with manpower.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

nobody has a right to not be offended. if you dont like it dont see it. if people are making you see it, stop talking to those people.

i wouldnt want the government to peek into drawing rooms to see if people are talking about offensive topics at social gatherings.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

Facebook activities has been accepted as legal binding around the world.

The "FIR against this group" by saying this, is one more proof of far-reaching powers of FB.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

So we should allow all kind of crap on GS too and say don't like it, don't see it?

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

You can't compare GS with Facebook, their is no comparison.

GS is just a place run by some random people with no stated privacy policy or any legal representation or any phone no or address to serve subpoena..

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

definition of crap is the actual problem........people define crap differently...

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

Firenze, I disagree.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

I respect that.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

there are three blind persons came to their way. in the way they struck by big thing. that thing was an elephant. 1st person touched tail of an elephat and say it is thin. 2nd person touched the leg and say it is like a tree.3rd person touched the head of an elephant and say it is broad like thing.and starts fighting.nobody knows the truth totally…like that.we do not the truth.and starts fight.... now let all think what ever they want in any senses

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

GS is a discussion forum with features added to it. Discussions entail rules of debate.. no such thing for a social network. Furthermore each subsection has a specific topic-relevance scheme that limits a lot of said-crap. Also as opposed to facebook, GS users do not have the option of creating forums on the fly, and congregating there, thereby avoiding forums that might contain topics they feel offended by (this incidentally is why Blogs have a much looser moderation policy than forums). Finally every 'society' has some standards. Given that GS represents Pakistani society, it is easy to devise those standards. Facebook represents a global community, who have very few consensus standards. If you threaten someone with violence facebook tends to take that down pretty quick. Not quite the same as I hate Gandhi. People might have very good reasons to hate Gandhi. Who are you to say no dont hate him.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

As i said it's a big conspiracy.

Re: "I hate Gandhi"

I have not visited this facebook page, but I'm sure that this page is created by a extremist Hindu, like the one who killed Gandhijee.

Muslims have lot of respect for Gandhijee and his vision of India. The number of Muslims across the world who love Gandhijee exceeds than the number of Hindus who hate him or love him.

Re: “I hate Gandhi”

I don’t think anyone can really hate Gandhi. But perhaps there’s two sides to every coin?

Have you ever seen Penn & Teller Bull****? There episode titled Holier Than Thou? Erm watch it. Not necessarily views I agree with or whatever but worth thinking about.

Live and let live is my motto. Peace!
