Facebook Translations Bug Results in Racist Recommendations

Yesterday I wrote about Facebook launching public profile recommendations, but one thing many users began to note was the offensive statements visible in the recommendations box. Personally, I had been recommended to become a fan of the “Morning Sex” public profile but that was about as offensive as I thought it would get.

Soon after I posted, a number of people notified me of offensive statements that were showing up in the box and then by the evening one of our readers, Liam McKinnon, sent us as screenshot of some offensive content which I’ve posted above.
