Our families are in danger as a direct result of the hundreds of thousands of people who see and believe the lies and hate speech, which you have decided should be protected. What makes the entire situation all the more horrific is that we have had to wage an almost inconceivable battle with Facebook to provide us with the most basic of protections to remove the most offensive and incendiary content.
|
In your recent interview with Kara Swisher of Recode, you were asked why Facebook would allow an organization to post a conspiracy theory claiming that the Sandy Hook massacre was staged. While you implied that Facebook would act more quickly to take down harassment directed at Sandy Hook victims than, say, the posts of Holocaust deniers, that is not our experience. In fact, you went on to suggest that this type of content would continue to be protected and that your idea for combatting incendiary content was to provide counterpoints to push “fake news” lower in search results. Of course, this provides no protection to us at all. It would require people writing articles and making posts about our family and the massacre in the same quantity and read and spread by the same numbers as those who post and publish the hoax content. Since few are writing about a school shooting from six years ago, especially when other mass shootings have followed, only the Sandy Hook “hoax” information appears and is spread, giving increased credence to the hateful, dangerous content. If your goal is truly to provide protection to us and remove dangerous and malicious content quickly, may we suggest the following: |
*Treat victims of mass shootings and other tragedies as a protected group, such that attacks on them are specifically against Facebook policy.
*Provide affected people with access to Facebook staff who will remove hateful and harassing posts against victims immediately. |
Facebook plays a mammoth role in exposing the world’s masses to information. That level of power comes with the tremendous responsibility of ensuring that your platform is not used to harm others or contribute to the proliferation of hate. Yetit appears that under the guise of free speech, you are prepared to give license to people who make it their purpose to do just that.

After the death of our son and the bewildering attacks on our family and the families of the other victims, we began to hear from the people affected by other mass shootings and tragedies who were suffering similar abuse on Facebook. In response to the overt disregard shown by Facebook, we founded HONR.com with the mission of providing assistance to those being targeted online by mob hate.
|
After feeling so much hope following your pledge in the Senate to make Facebook a safer and more hospitable place for social interaction, we are once again feeling let down by your recent comments supporting a safe harbor for Holocaust deniers and hate groups that attack victims of tragedy.

Our son Noah no longer has a voice, nor will he ever get to live out his life. His absence is felt every day. But we are unable to properly grieve for our baby or move on with our lives because you, arguably the most powerful man on the planet, have deemed that the attacks on us are immaterial, that providing assistance in removing threats is too cumbersome, and that our lives are less important than providing a safe haven for hate.
Sincerely, Leonard Pozner & Veronique De La Rosa Parents of Noah Pozner, Sandy Hook shooting victim |
I cannot believe that some here are basically sorry for that evil hateful twisted fuck Alex Jones being shut down.

I don't even know what Pizzagate is, and I am afraid to look it up.
All I know is that Alex Jones deserves a firing squad, and I would be happy to be in it. |
Maybe that was a bit harsh.
Fuck it ....no it wasn't. |

yeah, twisted sick fucks hang together. All you gotta do is watch the Newtown documentary, listen to what the parents say and know what Jones did regarding that. Anyone who likes that ass hat has some serious issues that need professional help/ |

Alexander Graham Bell
Note the name and note it well Father of the modern age His inventions are all the rage Of course there was the telephone He'd be famous for that alone But there's 50 other things as well From Alexander Graham Bell Edison had cylinders But Bell made records flat Which we remember gratefully When we play our floppy or cd Of course there was the telephone He'd be famous for that alone But there's 50 other things as well From Alexander Graham Bell Born in Scotland, moved away To Canada and the usa Studied speech, took a wife Helped the deaf all his life Came up with a threshing machine Before he made it to a teen After years of sweat and toil He invented the hydrofoil The respirator was his chance To save his baby's life And just like the Brothers Wright He got heavily into flight Of course there was the telephone He'd be famous for that alone But there's 50 other things as well From Alexander Graham Bell Graham Bell, Alexander, It is tantamount to slander To call him just a scientist Why his inventions top the list Edison, he was a thief And Tesla nuts beyond belief But Alexander was a gent So philanthropic, so well meant Founded Science Magazine Wrote a book for kids Because he was a caring fellow Gave a hand to Helen Keller Of course there was the telephone He'd be famous for that alone But there's 50 other things as well From Alexander Graham Bell Alexander Bell, Graham Modern life would sure be mayhem Without tetrahedral cells X-rays, faxes, decibels I think I'd say, and it's no fiction Without fear of contradiction He improved our lot a smidgeon From the age of carrier pigeon Television was a thing That he had all prepared But he left that to his pupil John Logie Baird Of course there was the telephone He'd be famous for that alone But there's 50 other things as well From Alexander Graham Bell |

Is it Jones' fault people look at him? Are people being forced to his message somehow? Pizzagate, in part, comes out of the Clinton's involvement in Haiti in getting a child trafficker released from prison - there just doesn't seem to be any reasonable reason why they would get involved in such an ugly topic (woman has previous stateside criminal record) and there is no mistaking that the woman was trying to take children out of Haiti, ostensibly orphans, it was easily determined many of the kids had parents. This was from a wikileaks dump as well as the whole spirit cooking weirdness that they seemed to cultivate in private emails. Is this why you think Alex Jones should be shot? |
