Breasts are banned but beheadings are OK.
I hope they lose a load of advertisers :-
Facebook must now prove it is 'robust' in protecting children after removing beheading video, David Cameron warns
Facebook banned decapitation videos in May due to psychological damage
In U-turn it said users should be able to watch and condemn these videos
Hostage UK, which has Ken Bigley's brother as trustee, slams the move
PM: Decision is 'irresponsible' and Facebook should 'address problem'
Following pressure it's removed gory video of woman being beheaded

There is a mass of disgusting stuff on facebook.
I don't know how they get away with it. Totally irresponsible. :mad:
Youngsters can easily be 'affected' by such videos and images.

Facebook should be disgusted with themselves:cwm23:

The only language these people understand is money. If the advertisers started cancelling their business then they would soon take note. Same goes for youtube :cwm23:

philippinos seem to view a lot of this stuff a relative posted it on her wall ,and at first I thought it was going to be one of those stupid fake videos but hell it was no fake and I nearly threw up .I just could,nt grasp that this poor woman was murdered on film and posted online what a sick world we live in.Young kids must get traumatised seeing this and facebook should be ashamed for allowing it in the first place.

Quite right, and if one parent tries to act responsibly by limiting what their kids can view, there will be a hundred other smartphones to look at in the school playground.
The responsibility lies firmly with the websites.
One of my Filipino relatives posted a (genuine) picture of the partially dismembered body of a newborn baby on her facebook timeline. :NoNo:

No not at all it's a great site for many other reasons-that's like saying lets ban music coz we found a record offensive
All they have to do is refuse to allow the awful images as mentioned :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I agree Les. There must be a way to keep the majority of reasonable 'users' happy.

I am happy with Facebook generally - it's free advertising for me, my mates were in touch arranging a night out on it last night, I can see pics instantly of friends around the world etc etc
All they have to do is restrict nasty stuff, it's a great medium.

I enjoy using it too..for much the same reasons. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Sorry Rayna, Maritess is the same as you, but I can see the dangers and problems that social websites cause to many people!

You can control what people see of yours, and also who's stuff is allowed to appear on your page. It's all in account and privacy settings. Same with the chat and messaging facility on there.
Also, IF you find my page, you'll simply see a picture of my handsome self, plus a 'cover picture'....nowt else ! I also have a very common name. :biggrin:

Unfortunately i think a majority of users don't even realise what is available to others on their page or that privacy settings exist. Just randomly clicking on friends of friends, i've found complete stranger's addresses, phone numbers, photos (that probably shouldn't be seen by strangers).
Also, i'm wondering how will companies feel that they are advertising on a website alongside such graphic images or videos?

It reminds me actually.. Star Movies cable channel over here cut out anything even slightly erotic and dub the mildest of swearwords, but allow graphic violence.
