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.

The US firm confirmed it now believed its users should be free to watch and condemn such videos. It added it was, however, considering adding warnings.
One suicide prevention charity condemned the move.
"It only takes seconds of exposure to such graphic material to leave a permanent trace - particularly in a young person's mind," said Dr Arthur Cassidy, a former psychologist who runs a branch of the Yellow Ribbon Program in Northern Ireland.
"The more graphic and colourful the material is, the more psychologically destructive it becomes."

Facebook is about to suffer from a lot of people hating on it. Yes I guess that people should be free to watch what they want on such sites, but it shouldn't be at the point where it is everywhere for ANYONE to see. At least age protect it or something? Then again, they'd need to restrict the age of the whole of Facebook, and they wouldn't be able to enforce such a thing.

The funny thing for me is, there's a guy who made a website specifically for videos like this, it's first page is one big warning, and he's currently on trial for 'corrupting morals' in Canada.
Let's see if they do the same here.

Most of these beheading videos are work of the cartels cutting the heads off of snitches, traitors, etc.

Although I do agree these videos are wrong, I can take watching someone get their head chopped off but I cannot stand to even see a second of animal abuse videos.

This is kind of stuff is what cause violence in this world. People that are exposed to it more are more likely to commit it and think it is okay to do so. This is pure stupidity. I also thought that content like that is illegal? Am I wrong?

Your last paragraph just proved why these videos should not be alowed on facebook. You just represented one of the most screwed up things in todays society. You would rather watch a human being, a person with a family, job, life. Be mutilated and murdered. Over an animal, the thing that acts solely on instinct, wouldnt care in the least amount if anything happened to you, be abused.

We have been demoralized to a point where it's causeing mass shootings, wars, and other terrible things. How often do you think mothers murdered their babys 20 years ago? Not alot. Now there is a new case every week.

The demoralization of society will be its downfall. Watch

I think it should be banned, there is no need for that content on a social media website.

Yeah, this shouldn't be on Facebook. There are existing websites already available at any time that openly displays this content. Facebook really shouldn't be doing this. To allow it is one thing, but to say publicly that it's no longer banned is essentially advertising it's existence, and saying that it is on the website.

You do realize that these human beings that are getting murdered on facebook did this to themselves.

They aren't innocent people. They are either drug dealers, drug smugglers, human smugglers, murders, or maybe even worse.

They got caught so they snitched to get out of the situation they got themselves in.
They got killed because of their own actions.

A animal did or even could do anything to be beat or abused.

Now for being "demoralized", just because I don't puke when I see someone get their heads chopped off, doesn't mean anything.

Mass shootings happen because of mental health problems. Not because of morals.
