I found an article in The New York Times - "Facebook wrestles with Free Speech and civility".
Facebook has become an open book into peoples lives. People provide everything to everyone. Their schedules, events, likes & dislikes, pictures, and opinions on different topics.
This website allows people to voice their feelings on certain subjects. Some subjects are funny, some are stupid, and some are very serious. It doesn't matter what the topic is, it will offend someone. So where does Facebook draw the line on what people say is freedom of Speech? They have bullying, people threatening people, pornographic pictures, political discussions on race or religion, etc. How do they decide what to leave up and what to take down?
I feel that Facebook is a great way to advertise a product or business, and to stay in touch with friends and family that live far away. I have an account with Facebook, but I am not a big Facebook fan. I do not go crazy with it or get on it everyday. I just use it to keep in touch with friends and family.

ReplyDeleteKelly, I do agree that Facebook needs to have more control of what they let people post on their site. Some think that Facebook is great place to express their feelings but sometimes (which is most of the time) it offends people. But there is a new feature on Facebook where you can report a friend for posting something inappropriate . You can report it, if you see a acts of bullying, pornographic pictures or signs of violence. Another good thing is that you can also report someone for positing a racist comment. But the truth is I once reported someone for posting a nude picture and it took weeks before Facebook removed it. One can only wonder what our children are being exposed to on Facebook. Pretty scary huh?
