Erotic images vanish from Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Facebook page after Raw Story questions
Several sexually explicit images disappeared from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s campaign Facebook page following questions about them from Raw Story.
Asked by Raw Story if Greene’s staff or Facebook removed the images, Nick Dyer, Greene’s deputy chief of staff, said, “I suppose they did. Look at you! Journalism with some results!”
Facebook, and its parent company Meta, didn’t respond to continued requests for comment about the explicit images, which included depictions of sex acts and body parts.

Raw Story reported early Wednesday that Greene, a Republican from Georgia, had failed to engage simple privacy settings that would have prevented people from posting lewd and uncomplimentary material directly to her Facebook page.
This led to posts mocking Greene as a clown, comparing her to a baboon and depicting her with Russian flags.
Greene’s office was first alerted to the problem last year. After removing some of the problematic images, others — some worse than before — have recently appeared.
Dyer reacted to Raw Story’s inquiry Tuesday by emailing, “What are you talking about?”

Dyer later suggested it was Facebook’s failure, not Greene’s, to police content such as pornography that goes against the social media giant’s policies.
Facebook's community standards list hate speech and adult nudity and sexual activity among its "objectionable content." The standards additionally state that the company distinguishes between public figures and private individuals in terms of bullying and harassment "because we want to allow discussion, which often includes critical commentary of people who are featured in the news or who have a large public audience."
"For public figures, we remove attacks that are severe as well as certain attacks where the public figure is directly tagged in the post or comment," the policy continues.

Late Tuesday, Greene posted on Facebook about items for sale at her website, including $25 “Impeach Biden!” wrapping paper that depicts the president as the Grinch and $60 Christmas sweaters that say, “The Grinch Who Stole the Election — Impeach Biden.”
Several derogatory, misogynistic and sexually suggestive images still remained on Greene’s page Wednesday afternoon in the “tagged photos” section that’s available for anyone to see. Many other on-brand images remain on Greene’s page, too, such as those that show her in flattering poses or a message that she’s against aid to Israel so the U.S. can “focus on our own massively horrible problems."
