Facebook or Myspace is under pressure in Modern Australia to take down a web page that insults Aborigines. The government is blaming the social media company of using its U.S. base to avoid Modern Australia anti-discrimination regulations.
The Aboriginal Memes Facebook or Myspace web page has created a furor in Modern Australia this week with its depictions of natural Aussies as drunks and well being tips.
Communications Reverend Stephen Conroy told Modern Australia Delivering Corp. late Wed his workplace had called on Facebook's Quotes workplace to take the site down.
Conroy says the designer of the site, whom he believed is a 16-year-old Modern Australia living in the west coast city of Perth, was getting around Modern Australia anti-discrimination regulations through U.S. assures of freedom of expression.
