"12 year old slut meme's" [sic] launched as a Facebook page on August 26. Its stated purpose is "embarrassing those who embarrass themselves," and it consists of photos of young girls in sexualized poses or screenshots of sexual conversations, apparently taken from the girls' Facebook pages (along with more traditional meme-style images like the one above). Liberally interspersed are mission statements like this one: "If you post slutty @!$%#ing @!$%# on facebook expect your photo to end up on here, then tagged in, then ripped to shreds by 120 thousand people. Chaos will continue. Go die." At last count, the page had nearly 213,000 likes.
A Change.org petition launched a few days ago charges that "12 year old slut meme's" violates Facebook's anti-hate speech guidelines, and urges the company to remove the page. So far, Facebook has resisted doing so. A spokesperson told BuzzFeed Shift, "We recognize the concern that this offensive Page has caused, and while we find this Page distasteful, it does not currently violate our terms." She added that the page "does not pose a material threat to anyone's safety."
