Stop deleting Arab atheist and secularist groups and pages!

[josephpalazzo]

What was supposed to be the highway of knowledge has become the boulevard of stupidity...

This week only , 9 of the biggest Facebook groups of atheists and secular Arabs were closed after a fake reports campaign led by Islamist groups that counts hundreds of thousands of Islamists to close the only window we breathe through !

Arab atheists are facing huge risks of losing all kinds of freedoms and rights ( that are not so many ) , including the freedom and the right of being alive, just by announcing that they are atheists!

So the only safe space they can speak through is social media. But with the Facebook policy  that gives the chance to anyone who have an important number of followers to close and ban pages or groups he and his follower don't like , simply by leading a campaign of mass fake reports , this space is becoming as regressive as any country of the third world where minorities are oppressed.

We as secular and Arab atheists , are asking the Facebook administration to change it's policy, and to reverse it's decision of closing our pages and groups.

this shit happens all the time not only done by islamists but by all sort of ideologues. They do mass reporting campaigns. The way the systems works by banning you first before actually looking into the issue is fucking cancer.

Facebook has mostly been a loser environment for me.  I am amazed it hasn't collapsed from its own self-importance.
