The Islands Grapevine faces social-media dispute

community · September 2023 · Denman Island Bulletin Board

The Islands Grapevine reported an ongoing dispute with critics over alleged hateful or insensitive content. The paper said its weekly posting was removed from the Denman Island Facebook Bulletin Board after moderators characterized its content as hate speech, while the paper disputed that characterization.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
