What's Your Excuse Mom aka Maria Kang is banned from Facebook
Remember Maria Kang, the "What's Your Excuse?" mom
we posted about in October? She's been banned from Facebook. You can read her version of the posts and events that led to
her getting banned here in this post "I am banned from Facebook". After reading Kang's version of events, and
Jezebel's take on it here, a few things are uncertain to me: 1. Why
exactly is Kang banned? For hate speech? Is what she said hate speech?: "
I woke up this morning to news stories about how overweight nearly obese women should be proud of their bodies (as they posed in lingerie). I think we should all accept how any healthy body through good nutrition and exercise manifests but I’m starting to get annoyed..." 2. Is she forever banned, temporarily banned (that seems to be the case) or is just her page banned? 3. Haven't you, in fairness, seen worse on Facebook? Her opinion might be wrong or right or obnoxious or even hateful depending on how you look at it…but isn't it just an opinion? It seems like someone (or many people) reported it as abusive, and thus it got taken down, but was that really necessary? What do you think? -Helen
