Facebook users have discovered that posting “Men are scum” gets them banned from using the platform, deeming it as hate speech.
Comedian Marcia Belsky complained on her Twitter that she was banned for 30 days after posting “Men are scum” as a comment on a friend’s post.
Facebook, speaking to The Daily Beast, said the bans are a result of its moderating guidelines which removes threats and hate speech directed toward a protected group – which includes race, gender, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation.
