Facebook Finally Removes "Business Page" For Woman's Butthole After Four Years

High school can be an absolutely miserable time and in the age of social media, cruel cyberbullying pranks can follow you online forever. Such was the case with Samantha Jespersen, a 23-year old professional baker who discovered that a Facebook page listing her butthole as a "place of business" had been on the social media hub since 2012.

Jespersen discovered the page doing a Google search of herself in 2015 and according to a highly upvoted thread in /r/legaladvice posted January 28th, had reported the page "a million times," to no avail. The page featured her old personal home address. Its description read, “This unofficial Page was created because people on Facebook have shown interest in this place or business. It's not affiliated with or endorsed by anyone associated with Samantha Rae Anna Jespersen's Butthole.”

"It's humiliating," she wrote. "I tried requesting the name change of the page. Reported it for every option possible. Facebook says it doesn't violate terms… It was never a business. I was a child. I feel so hopeless."

Either the Facebook algorithm or a real person working for Facebook felt the page didn't qualify as harassment. According to a screenshot of Facebook's response provided to BuzzFeed, Facebook stated, "We reviewed the place reported for harassment and found it doesn't violate our community standards."

Jespersen reported that while she has faced no personal repercussions from the page's existence, “I feel like if anybody has found it, it would probably feel way too weird to talk to me about it,” she said. “And if I didn’t get a job over it, they definitely wouldn't call me and say, ‘Hey, found the Page about your butthole, not going to hire you, bye.’”

After the BuzzFeed story was published, Facebook finally removed the page. Jespersen does not know who created the page.
