It seems that clocking up numbers is more important to Facebook than actually checking on sites as they are set up.
The latest is here in Christchurch a group was formed on Facebook(now been removed) promoting murder. It was under the name 'Christchurch Police Narks Snitchs as outlined in the article in 'The Press'.
One post allegedly named someone it claimed was a Nark with the comment "kill this bitch." Another allegedly contained "kill the narks," within its thread.
Facebook is a great way to keep in touch, but it really has to look at having local staff who vet the pages been created.
With these pages promoting crime seeming to been created at will & only coming to attention of the wider public as they grow, I don't see it too long before Facebook is sued or convicted.
You Can Count on Me: Learning About Responsibility (Character Education Readers)
Just in normal use Facebook for those that use it has a lot of good & bad depending on your tastes, but as something that is probably helping mould our future way of communicating it has a responsibility to stay within societies norms.
With postings like those quoted it is conceivable that if someone carries out the action then not only is that person likely to be charged with murder, but those who set up the page & ultimately the management of Facebook could be held out as accessories.
