News.com.au on Aboriginal Memes 2014

News.com.au reports on Facebook shutting down a racist Facebook page which vilified Indigenous Australians with revolting jokes and illustrations, despite earlier telling a complainant the page was acceptable under its ‘community standards’ policy. They discuss how the Online Hate Prevention Institute has been leading the campaign against the online attacks on indigenous Australians, releasing a report in 2012 into the Aboriginal Memes site. They spoke to our CEO Andre Oboler, who explained that Facebook should be congratulated for addressing the problem quicker than in the past, but that it is concerning that the initial response to complaints about the page was to reject it.
