There was a group on Facebook that was "If you have ever been annoyed, dissed, or creeped out by (name of person) hten join!".
Or a title like that.
The girl who was talked about on htat group- however, actually did everything that people wrote in htat group. People wrote tehir experiences with that girl, and as a very level headed person, I can honestly say that she has seriously offended people and could be on hte borderline of having rpeversion issues. She respects no one and, as an honest person, probabl needs some pschiatric help. However, when she found out about this group- she told the dean of students- and it was removed from Facebook. Is this legal? We have freedom of speech, and as long as we're not threatening ehr, can it be couted as cyberbullying? All we were doing was sharing our experiences that we had with her (which were all mildly disturbing).

That is very mean. Do NOT join that group I am sure they will get in deep trouble.
Facebook, like almost every other website that hosts user content, reserves the right to delete anything for basically any reason they want (If I said something offensive or stupid in this answer yahoo would probably delete it too). I think it's still unclear whether or not the first amendment applies here.
Did the school do anything to the person who made the group? A kid from my school a couple years ago made a facebook group about his roommate and got kicked out of his dorm for it. Apparently he did some other bad things too, but I still think it was uncalled for to send an out of state first year student a letter that says "your housing contract has been terminated effective 12 hours from now"
Not illegal to have it, not illegal to get it booted off. However, extremely juvenile to handle a problem with someone in that way. If you really have a problem with a person, you need to grow up and just tell them. Her need for psychiatric help is none of your business if the worst thing she did was offend you. Why didn't you try talking to her? You know if she has some issues, there is probably a reason. Maybe she needed a friend and not to be ganged up on. And maybe she is just a bee otch. In that case.. ignore her. I would have to say most definitely the people with the facebook thing were definitely in the wrong.
Honestly, i think its ironic that the people who were getting annoyed,dissed are making a group about the girl and doing the exact same thing. I think you guys should forget the group and be the bigger person... seeing how you are old enough to act that way in the first place.
Well, would you like such a group about you? Of course you wouldn't. This is definately cyber-bullying (if there ever was such a thing) and it's just plain mean and immature. There is no difference between this and publishing a daily newsletter about someone in which you bash this person. Also, from a legal point of view...anything you say about someone in public which causes them harm had better be true and you had better be able to prove it or else your screwed if they sue you (which they should).
