CDZ An open letter to Mark Zuckerberg

An open letter to Mark Zuckerberg from the parents of a Sandy Hook victim

Dear Mr Zuckerberg,

Our names are Lenny Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa. We are the parents of Noah, who on 14 December, 2012, at the age of six, was gunned down in his classroom at Sandy Hook elementary school. Since that day, we, as well as the parents, family, and friends of the 25 other victims, have been embroiled in a constant battle with social media providers, including Facebook, to protect us from harassment and threats.

Almost immediately after the massacre of 20 little children, all under the age of seven, and six elementary school teachers and staff, the attacks on us began. Conspiracy groups and anti-government provocateurs began making claims on Facebook that the massacre was a hoax, that the murdered were so-called “crisis actors” and that their audience should rise up to “find out the truth” about our families. These claims and calls to action spread across Facebook like wildfire and, despite our pleas, were protected by Facebook.

I cant imagine anything worse than losing your child. Apart from being told that it didnt happen.

Is this a free speech issue ?

I dont believe it is. I think that victims are entitled to some protection. The cranks that believe these things are free to think whatever crap they believe in and set up their own platforms to share their poison.
That is freedom of speech.

I think that facebook should spend some of its profits to protect the victims of slaughter.

Unfortunately I think it is free speech.

Its a shame we can't effectively fly the "hoaxers" out to meet the families and see the bodies somehow. I share your aggravation but think we'll need to get original to set the hoaxers straight on this one.

 

[Picaro]

Really? And what would such a pointless photo op mean in real life?

Nothing. Dope-addled emotionalism and pandering to loons who don't really give a crap about "The Children", hoping to conflate irrelevant nonsense to some 'fake 'Cause' they've generated in their own heads. they can run around posturing and creating imaginary moral high grounds for themselves and try and convince us all that this nonsense tactic makes them 'right' on every other stupid meme they invent and we all have to kiss their asses or something. Well tough shit, not everybody is as dense and mentally ill as you fake 'progressives' are.

"In order to protect ourselves and our surviving children, we have had to relocate numerous times. These groups use social media, including Facebook, to 'hunt' us, posting our home address and videos of our house online."

I just dont see free speech tied to providing a platform for this sort of poison. Its not a political issue , or partisan in any way. Its about sick people,who need help, persecuting victims because of the voices in their heads.

Who is standing up for the victims in all of this ?

These people realize that they don’t have to advertise themselves on Fakebook, don’t they? It’s a pretty simple solution... How stupid are they? If they think people are stalking them through their use of Fakebook,”Quit using it!”

Why should they have to hide away just because their kid was slaughtered?

 

[Mac1958]

Yes, it is a freedom of expression issue, and unfortunately those who used to advocate for freedom of expression have gone in the opposite direction.

Sometimes people are going to say stuff we don't like. Sometimes it might even cause us emotional pain. That's life.

Freedom of expression is about protecting words we don't like. I don't know how that can be so damn difficult to understand.

Who said anything about hiding? It’s called making a choice. If one doesn’t like the results of using a product; don’t use the product.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

It isn't a like or dislike issue. There are huge amounts of crap I don't like but I wouldn't call for a ban of any sort.

This is more a matter of common decency.

These people lost their kids and are now being assaulted by crazy wicked people.

If they had been kidnapped and tortured in a cave the bad guys would be locked up.I don't see the difference between physical and mental torture.

If everyone had the same sense of decency; only then could it be considered “common”. Life is full of choices, and Facebook users are free to make one. No hyperbole needed...

Zuckerberg can ban it if he wants..... this isn't a free speech issue.

I disagree.

If I'm stalking you every time you leave your house I am the problem, not you leaving your house.

You bring up a very good point here.

Is this what the law has decided? I believe I can throw Carl Marx out of my house for running his mouth!

Persecuting grieving parents is pretty much frowned upon in all societies.

He would probably sort it out if it didnt cost him anything.
