I created a petition to ban anti-vax groups from Facebook. Facebook groups are one of the most major hubs of this toxic rhetoric, and anti-vaxxers also frequently demonize autistics and perform abusive "treatments" on us. If you want to sign, the link is here:

Ban Anti-Vax on Facebook!

I really believe that they are mislead but however I strongly believe in freedom of speech. They have a rite to have a group just as much as we have a rite to complain about them on here.

I signed, but I have mixed feelings. Being banned won't change how these morons feel and they'll still not vaccinate their kids.

Also if they're not allowed to express their beliefs on social media, it's like what nick 007 said. We won't be able to enjoy complaining about them or making snarky replies: :P

"What has your unvaccinated 2 year old done that's amazed you?"
"I dunno, maybe lived to BE two years old?" :twisted:

"In the near future, one in every two children will be autistic!"
"Maybe they already are, and you geniuses just don't know it yet." :roll:

Nope. There is no constitutional right to have a group on Facebook.
