A page with the name "You know she's playing hard to get when you are chasing her down an alleyway" in Facebook has nearly 1.94 lac likes, according to ET.
Victim charities have claimed that the content of the page itself counter attacks the rules of the networking giant like no nudity, pornography or violence etc..Facebook, instead, supported it saying they "allow freedom of expression"
"It is very important to point out that what one person finds offensive another can find entertaining, just as telling a rude joke won't get you thrown out of your local pub, it won't get you thrown off Facebook," a statement said.
"Groups or pages that express an opinion on a state, institution, or set of beliefs - even if that opinion is outrageous or offensive to some - do not by themselves violate our policies," the statement said.
"These online discussions are a reflection of those happening offline, where conversations happen freely in people's homes, in cafes and on the telephone," it added.

There is one more thing here. Big companies like Sony, Blackberry and American Express have asked Facebook to remove their adverts from the group, as per ET.
