Facebook Fan Page for UK Killer Removed, but Not by Facebook

A fan page for slain UK killer Raoul Moat which had attracted 38,000 fans was removed earlier today amidst mounting social and political pressure on the social networking company — but the page was removed by its creator, not by Facebook. Siobhan O’Dowd said that she was surprised by the negative reaction it received, but while Facebook acknowledged the controversial nature of the page, it refused to take it down, as it didn’t violate the site’s rules.
