Ask HN: Facebook doesn't react on terrorists recruiting post, what to do?

#1
The biggest facebook page in Russian openly recruiting terrorist, but moderators don't respond to reports. I submitted several reports, but no reaction. I assume they simply don't understand what is the problem. Post includes detailed instruction how to join terrorist organisation "army of novorossiya", which is responsible of downing MH17 and many more crimes. There is link. https://www.facebook.com/The.Russian.Federation/photos/a.10150574453068539.389556.12795478538/10153968018728539/?type=1

Facebook bots? I wish I could read Russian, the memes are probably worth reading.

You could probably hire a facebook bot 'like' network to 'report' a photo. You'd have to message the right people.

I suppose you could complain to, e.g., the US FBI about Facebook knowingly providing material support to terrorists.

No, it's actually one of the biggest page in Russia on Facebook, with 400k followers.

I thought about it, but it will probably take month or so

I googled it and all I see is that the Ukrainian government pointed the finger in their direction. However the Germans are blaming the Russian government's military forces in the region.

Seems like an organisation of Ukrainians and Russians, likely financed by Russia, fighting in the occupied/contested region of Ukraine.

Have to say if they did or did not down MH17, nobody can be too sure either way. However realistically it is hard to believe a rag tag group of "terrorists" could operate a modern anti-aircraft system such as the Buk missile system.
