On Tuesday, Facebook finally removed a public page called “Black Face” that featured photos of people wearing blackface. The page remained active for four months despite pressure from multiple users to remove it.
The page’s earliest posts can be traced to February. It had just over 100 Likes before it was taken down.
At least six people have told the Daily Dot that they reported the “Black Face” page and received a message from Facebook saying it didn’t “violate” its community standards. Two more people received a similar response upon reporting the page, according to screenshots obtained by the Daily Dot.
Over the last three months, the page received 165 “recommendations” that the Daily Dot reviewed. All 165 of them were negative reviews, with people repeatedly asking the page to be brought down.
