Facebook prostitution

Logo

As the title indicates I'm not a Facebook fan. But as I checked times for a venue today was diverted to a Facebook page. Having plenty time I clicked on some links - to be completely dismayed by rampant Facebook prostitution - by people who I'd previously held with some regard. Maybe it's me being a fuddy duddy and respecting some kind of privacy - or else have people lost their minds by posting photos of late parents/partners often before they've passed. What next - maybe a like button to show how they looked so well while visiting a relative with dementia? Or to indicate that they cared so much for a loved one in a coffin. Or would the late-to-be relative look good in this coffin? Maybe it's just me trying to rally against this Daily Mail gutter press culture that we've become *rant over*

Posting pics after they've passed would be a bit ghoulish, no? :pac:

However, I think I know what you mean. The banality of some things posted would make you wince. And as for the passing on of distilled wisdom in the form of memes. Jesus wept.

Posting pics after passing might be a tad ghoulish but I honestly think that posting pics of so-called loved ones during end-of-day/ dementia is downright demeaning and disrespectful. I will prefer to have my nappy changed or my arse wiped without some so-called caring relative with camera at hand. Why visit a relative if all you want is to post your mug online as a do-gooder?

You know prostitution is an actual thing. It's not that implausible that there would be people prostituting on facebook. There are certain situations where the word could be used metaphorically... this is not one of those situations.

Overall you probably want to tone down the language you're using. Things could escalate very, very quickly if you used this sort of language in real life.

I don't really follow this post, but how can you post a pic of 'late' people before they have passed?
