Disability hate speech thread still up

16 replies

Annarabbit · 19/05/2023 11:18

Can someone sort this out please - there is general disability hate speech, personal attacks on posters with disabled children, and hate speech directed at children. Not sure why it is still up when it has been reported. Families of disabled children should not have to be subject to this sort of harassment/bullying when visiting your site.

You'll have to be more specific if you want MNHQ to look into it.

Annarabbit · 19/05/2023 11:22

Have reported

MN gives zero fucks about disabled people, that's why.

SisterWivesrus · 19/05/2023 11:40

MNHQ get hundreds of reports every day. It's a request to have something looked at and might take time.

Or they might look at it and disagree with you wanting it taken down.

@Annarabbit can you give some clues as to the thread please? Which topic, title clue - happy to report too.

Annarabbit · 19/05/2023 11:50

There is potential for this to be found to be unlawful.

So give us some clues, if more people report it it might be taken down sooner

Stop being so vague. Maybe that's why they haven't responded.

But if you say you don't like Kate Middleton's hair it's deleted within seconds. LMAO. They mod what they want to mod. Stuff critical of MN, stuff that's gender critical, gets whomped instantly. Racism and ableism are actively encouraged.

Apologies for link fail below.

Criminal Justice System definition:

‘Any non-crime incident which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be
motivated by a hostility or prejudice based on a person’s disability or perceived

Agreed same with people in general. Boils my bloody that disabled people are the only minority group that nobody seems to give a shit about 😡

Hi @Annarabbit we've deleted your previous post as it was a screen shot of a deleted post on another thread.

Hate speech isn't allowed on Mumsnet and we will remove it when reported. We want to dispute claims we 'actively encourage' racism and ableism - this is absolutely not the case and, in fact, we see outright hateful posts on other platforms that wouldn't stay up for more than a couple of minutes on Mumsnet.

The thread you reference - we're taking a further look at it now. The mum of the boy involved has mentioned in the Press that he has special needs - something that wasn't referenced in earlier reports.
