RINJ Notes The "Alleyway" is Back! Facebook Deleted Then Brought Back Rape Joke Pages If Titled "[Humor]"

Toronto - November 13, 2011 - Today the RINJ Foundation released detailed information about a ruse it conducted since November 4, 2011 against Facebook.

"The 'Alleyway' is back," according to co-founder and spokesperson Micheal O'Brien.

"Facebook feigned the Alleyway's removal along with many other similar pro-rape "pages" it caused to be taken down. They are popping back up like dandelions overrunning an unkept lawn."

According to the RINJ Foundation, at the time "You know shes [sic] playing hard to get when your [sic] chasing her down an alleyway". was taken down by Facebook on a complaint of it leading a personal harm attack against a Toronto-based RINJ Foundationer, RINJ  created a new page moments later with the same name.  The "info" section  reads as follows:

HUMOUR This is a JOKE PAGE: Visit:http://www.facebook.com/rape.is.no.joke
Description
This is a JOKE PAGE
This Page is Run by RINJ dot Org as an example of a closed down Pro-rape page.
This page was created to prevent it's re-creation by wrong-doers.
http://www.facebook.com/rape.is.no.joke

Recently Facebook asked the page owner, what was the intent of her content as apparently the site asked other page owners.

"Please let us know the intent of this content.

The content below may violate Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. If this piece of content was intended to be humorous, that must me [sic] clear in the title.

Please use our contact form to confirm the humorous nature of your page".  
 
Clicking the "Continue to contact Facebook button illustrated above, led to this next page and the request that the page owner "Add term "Humour" to your content title to clarify intent." 
 
This step led to the following two emails from Facebook . 
 
Facebook confirms it has changed the name but all along implies that the page owner has requested the change. 
 
Facebook prefixed the name of the page with "[Humor]".

This is the same "Alleyway" page name that had endless pro-rape commentaries; child porn; threats of rape; hatred attacks against real persons; and violated many  of Facebook's own rules.

Some 200,000 Change.org petitioners complained about this page. It's back. Fortunately it's in safe control but it is only one of many hundreds. Changing the name to include the word [Humour] was all that was needed to bring back the "Alleyway" and a plethora of pro-rape content pages that also promote hatred; child-molestation and some even contain child porn. 

Ed. Note: Weeks following this release, Facebook deleted the page.
 
 

In short, this smacks of being a scam on it's users and the many thousands of complainants , said Mr. O'Brien.

"It also deceives the advertisers to whom Facebook is able to say, "the users have requested this change. 'This [pro-rape content] is humour' and humour has the right of existence in any context."

The Facebook scam plan called for deleting the "Alleyway" and its pro-rape kind of page and then bring  back the "Alleyway" and other's under the heading of "[Humour]".

Facebook is an ungoverned cyberspace corporation with no moral compass selling on the unregulated internet content it obtains free from its users. The more controversial the content, the greater the traffic on the site and hence the greater it's advertising profits.

The RINJ spokesman noted, "Recently Facebook has been unable to maintain its growth and stem the decline of it's market share to Twitter and Google+. It cannot afford to let go of the huge numbers of visitors it is getting from the sex trade and pornography internet sectors. Currently porn and child molestation pages are popping up at the rate of thousands per day on Facebook.

"Once seen as a legitimate internet communication and social networking site, Facebook is now making money from the promotion of crime, child pornography, rape and child molestation and  doing little to nothing to change this content, traffic and profits being its main priority."

Ed. Note: Weeks following this release, Facebook deleted the page.
RINJ Foundation is an international organization based in Toronto and founded by persons in Canada, Britain and Australia.

 RINJ seeks removal of web content condoning sexual assault and rape. Allowing this content on social networking sites further normalises a rape culture and the high instance of sexual violence in global society.
1) RINJ reports all inappropriate content to site owners and advertisers as well as law enforcement where that seems appropriate. 
2) RINJ reports to advertisers any ads appearing on pro-rape, pro-child-molestation content pages and groups. 
3) RINJ promotes a global boycott of advertisers and their products advertised on pro-rape content pages.
