Facebook is an incrediblely useful resource for sharing information that reaches the masses. Social media is transforming how people perceive and interact with the world around them — often for the better — but where there is a real opportunity to inform and educate the masses, there is a real threat from hateful organisations and networks who deliberately seek to mislead and decieve vulnerable people.



The manipulative ploy designed by intolerant radicals to camouflage their groups as concerned patriots has worked. Countless ethnocentric and xenophobic social movements have generated an enormous following on Facebook through distributing bigoted propaganda, drawing in and misguiding people from all walks of life and indoctrinating them into a racist and prejudiced belief system.



Mimimal enforcement of Facebook's Community Standards has led to an uncontrollable rise of chauvinism and support for fascist political movements and organisations within their website's community, much of which reaches millions of Facebook users not only nationally, but globally.



For the huge number of people offended by such blatantly obvious hate speech shared and praised by these disgraceful alliances, Facebook's complete disregard and lack of intervention is obnoxious. For the vast amount of ordinary people defending equality by reporting these atrocious posts, the lack of recognition and acknowledgement is a farce.



When the declaration of intolerance towards hate speech is clearly stated in Facebook's Community Standards, it seems inconceivable that distinct attacks on particular groups of people are rarely removed.



There is an urgent need to present this crucial issue to Facebook directly, as we have waited far too long for our concerns to be addressed without adequate appreciation. To defend our nation's very principles of a fair, equal, and non-discriminatory society, it is our moral duty and obligatory responsibility to intervene.
