Facebook users rally against controversial Rolling Stone cover

On Wednesday, July 17, Rolling Stone magazine revealed that the Boston Marathon bomber suspect was the cover choice for their latest magazine issue. Shortly after, Facebook community outrage violently expressed itself via the page “Boycott Rolling Stone Magazine for their latest cover” — a Facebook page that gained more than 100 thousand likes in less than 24 hours.

That equates to 4,168 likes per hour, which equals 69 likes per minute: a like every 6/7th of a second.
