Dear Admin,
For years we knew that our daughter has been followed by a group of men on the internet. We never took mutch action because she was known as Mara Green and it never affected her. Up to last month this was platonic, they watched the photos and that was it. But since September a group of men thought that photos were not longer enough and they started stalking her. The approached her on the street, went in to her school and made clearly plans to go further and further.
The police started an investigation, which meant the temporarily close down of masterchan.org. The investigation is still on, but masterchan could start again, only without the board of Mara. The police has told us that the threads are so serious that our daughter now has to have personal security every time she goes outside, the school has police presence during start and end of the school and this 12 year girl has been instructed not to use social media and internet for the coming years.
Your board also is one of the meeting points of this men. I know you believe in freedom of speech, but when this is to protect democracy or any other human right I fully agree, but when the only freedom that is at stake is the freedom of a twelve year old girl, who has lost it all, I'm wondering if this is what you guts meant when you started this site.
I ask you to take down the board. If it is not for Mara, than it is for the copyright infringement, because all photos posted of Mara were made by me. Also the fact that the board is names Mara Groenstege, will mean a lot of problems for this girl, who, once again, never asked for this attention. It's my mistake that 9 years ago I made the mistake to upload family photos on Flickr, not thinking about the risks, but to put all this burden now on an innocent girl of 12, I really wonder why you would allow this to happen.
Hope you remove
