OR notes

[edit]

OR was fairly basic here; search reveals various hate pages. Antifanpage, call for arrests. Note the lack of an appropriate profile. Also, I consider retrieving the image itself for our readers to be OR in its own right; the sourcing for that is on the image page.

email

[edit]
  • I am sending the following email to Facebook's press email, with scoop BCC'd:

To whom it may concern,

I'm a freelancer researching the so-called "Eugene Terrorblanche" account on Facebook, which has provoked controversy in the South African media. The profile features an image of a white man posing over what appears to be a dead white[sic] boy. I was unable to locate the profile. Can you confirm for me if the profile has been deleted?

Will Facebook co-operate with requests from the South African authorities for user information as they investigate this incident?

FWIW, I can confirm that there's still no response from Facebook. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 11:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
