Facebook ‘too slow’ in acting on abusive page

Staff at Coláiste Choilm in Ballincollig, Co Cork — one of the country’s biggest with more than 1,300 students — had to identify the student behind the page before the abusive material could be taken down two days ago.
The girl was subjected to nasty comments from numerous people soon after the ‘Coláiste Choilm Memes’ Facebook page was set up in mid-December. She was then subjected to offensive sexual references by a number of people when she asked for posts to be removed.
