Jill Meagher case: Facebook refusing to close groups and pages that might jeopardise a successful prosecution
1st Oct 2012 4:24pm | By Editor Social media giant Facebook is yet to shut down sites inciting hatred and violence against the man charged with the murder of Melbourne woman Jill Meagher.
Victoria Police has asked Facebook to cancel about six sites, but Deputy Commissioner Tim Cartwright says the social media network operator has declined, despite fears that these sites could prejudice a fair trial. (It s) pretty disappointing, some of those sites are inciting hatred and really quite disgusting in the sorts of messages they re portraying, Mr Cartwright told reporters on Monday.
