Beheading videos return on Facebook

[Meatpie]

Facebook is allowing videos showing people being decapitated to be posted and shared on its site once again.


The social network had placed a temporary ban on the material in May following complaints that the clips could cause long-term psychological damage.


The US firm now believes its users should be free to watch and condemn, but not celebrate, such videos.

Dozens of graphic beheading vids from Mexico were posted on the social network earlier this year which went viral on the internet.

Good for Facebook. If such vids are behind a warning so tender souls don't accidentally stumble onto them, then there should be no problem.
Down with patronization and hypocrisy.
