WARNING: Sharing This Image Will Get You Blocked From Posting On Facebook (IMAGES)

Credit for finding this little travesty lies with our fellow Member "NW", not I; but, I felt it worthy of being shared with all and not a select few.

Incidentally, the good folks at Facebook who deleted the aforementioned image are the same wonderful people who deleted my "likethecar" and "thegaydeceiver" profiles and accounts because individuals were no-longer allowed more than one account (this not-with-standing that the user-names in question are two of three that I have registered at some 50-web-portals in the past 20-years, and in each and every case, in every portal, my "real-world" name and location is provided and not hidden) claiming this is a measure to inhibit cyber-bullying. Go figure!

The thing that really annoyed me SO much about Facebook censoring that image (and penalising the poster) is that they seem very happy to turn an almost completely blind eye to the many hundreds of pages and posts that are much worse, and often illegal. Those actively promoting Islamophobia, racist views, homophobia, and misogyny & domestic violence, for example.

It seems to me to be a classic example of not being allowed to attack rich institutions, but perfectly OK to verbally attack (and encourage physical attacks on) vulnerable individual humans.
