Facebook yanks Toomey spoof

Published by Tim McNulty on .

Facebook pulled down the page from liberal activists Keystone Progress making fun of Pat Toomey's contribution from an adult website owner, reports Chris Brennan at the Daily News:

Toomey's camp said it hadn't asked for the page to be pulled.

A Facebook spokesman declined to say if the page had been pulled over a complaint, but passed along this generic explanation:

"We want Facebook to be a place where people can openly discuss issues and express their views, while respecting the rights and feelings of others. Our policies prohibit bullying, pornography, direct statements of hate, and actionable threats of violence. Facebook is also based on a real name culture, and we remove fake profiles and the content created by them when they're reported."
