    It probably depends on where it was... maybe.

    It probably wasn't on the Thomas the tank engine page.

    OP you should start a facebook campaign about it. They always work in making people pretend to give a shìt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭jay-me


    In fairness they need to cut that stuff out.. LAWL.. This is what I got back from them! "Status Video not removed

    Details
    Thanks for your report. We reviewed the video you reported, but found it doesn't violate Facebook's Community Standard on graphic violence, which includes depicting harm to someone or something, threats to the public's safety, or theft and vandalism."

    It was a real video of graphic murder.. Akin to 3 men 1 screwdriver and other such sick ****!! I just don't get it?? I saw it via a teenaged family member commenting on it and they shouldn't be privy to that level of sickness!

    The video was probably entitled "Graphic beheading of woman in Mexico". What do you expect?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    Anything over 100 likes means it stays.

    Its not like an image that can pop up on your Facebook wall and shock you without warning. Its a video, something that comes with a title, probably containing the word 'beheading', and needs to be clicked upon to be played.

    Very hard to view it without your own consent.

    Unless it's illegal then they probably won't remove it.

    Didn't it take over 24 hours to get video taken down of a teenage girl masturbating?

    I reported the same video. I don't have a problem with these videos myself as I can handle the horrid facts of life, but it's distastful and shows a distinct lack of respect to have a video of anyones murder or execution. To think that the victims family or friends could come across a video of their loved one being beheaded and the head waved around. It's the stuff of nightmares. :(

    Well... it was removed. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭monkeysnapper


    I have to say I went looking for said video and found it. I did about 4 seconds and had to turn it off.

    You don't think that perhaps, it's unfair on a victim to have their execution made very public?

    ....as they're dead, worries for the family would be more appropriate. Or worry over the fact that beheading is now a part of the intimidation involved in a "drug" war thats killed tens of thousands...

    Sorry, on a previous post in this thread I highlighted that that is exactly my problem, the family having to witness and relive that problem.

    Don't get me started on that drug war, it humbles me to think that of all the places in the world I was born, it was here.

    Yeah, that's what their biggest problem is. Having your head hacked off, what evs, but it being posted on Facebook? I didn't have time to do my mascara properly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭jay-me


    Also there is loads of kids on Facebook that will see that as easy as I did.. And all it says is like if you think he should go to jail.. No graphic warnings or anything else!

    The problem with Facebook is that you dont have to post it to have it show up... Even if they like/comment it can show up.

    I don't understand why people watch this stuff.
    Morbid curiosity for terrible things happening to people is the stock response.
    And it seems to be a kind of competitive sport, so to speak.
    And all for the lulz.

    So the natural evolution of a competitive "i'm hard as fcuk, me" attitude to these things is to view worse terrible things.
    So is the next test to view the worst thing imaginable (increasingly horrendous mutilation/abuse of infants, say- is it only a matter of time before that's the new 3 guys, one hammer). :confused: :rolleyes:
