Facebook is allowing videos showing
people being decapitated to be posted and shared on its site once again.
The social network had introduced a
temporary ban in May following complaints that the clips could cause long-term
psychological damage.
What an incredibly dumb idea from
an incredibly smart group of people, smart because they’ve managed to make a
fortune out of essentially email with pictures and videos.
Why would any normal person want
the option of watching someone being decapitated, not to mention then sending it to a
friend saying you have to watch this?
I was contemplating whether this
was a pr stunt and then I read the reasoning behind the decision which says
that they’ve done it so that people can watch and condemn decapitation videos,
which confirmed to me that this is the pr department at work because the
reasons they give are bullshit.
You don’t need to actually watch
someone getting their head chopped off to know its bad, in the same way that you
don’t need to watch a video of someone being sexually assaulted to know it’s
bad.
This just adds another reason to
the list why, if you have one, you should delete your Facebook account and get
on with your life.
