Facebook has deleted a group on its platform after screenshots emerged online showing some of its members allegedly sharing nude pictures and sex videos of ex-partners.
- A private group with thousands of male members has been deleted by Facebook
- Screenshots of messages from the group became public this week
- The posts to the group allegedly included revenge pornography and comments describing women as "diswashers"
In screenshots seen by the ABC, one man posted multiple pictures of a nude woman to the Melb guys pal group which he claimed were of an ex-girlfriend who had cheated on him.
Another screenshot showed a comment from a man to the Facebook group where he said he would share a sex tape he had taken with his ex-girlfriend if he got 200 likes.
Multiple posts from members included discussions about a male Facebook user sharing a sex tape with the group.
That user later posted a comment in which he said he could not believe what he had just posted.
Other comments made by members of the group have also been shared online, including one post where a man called for a "Holocaust #2, but instead of jews we target women".
Other members described women as "dishwashers".
The group's public description read: "Talk shit about any girl you want, stays between the boys, share whatever, seed advice, sell whatever, can organise fights in this chat but keep it peaceful."
The group appeared to have 7,000 members.
Some of the group's members appear to be high school students, while the ages of the women in the nude images that have been shared are not known.
The group's activities started to become public late this week, when screenshots of messages taken on Wednesday were shared and condemned online by others.
In a statement Facebook said it deleted Melb guys pal because it did not meet community standards.
"We absolutely do not allow content that attempts to exploit, degrade or shame anyone, especially young people," the company said.
The ABC understands that the people who were administrators for the group have also had their Facebook pages disabled.
