Facebook's Graphic Violence Policy Still Stinks



Earlier this year I reported via this blog that a video of a child being abused (beaten) was on Facebook and should be taken down but when reported to Facebook their response was that it did not violate their policy! After some time and badgering by many people they took the video down.

One hoped that this would have marked a change in the policy but no - yesterday another video of a baby being repeatedly struck around the head made it in to my time line because a friend commented on it. After viewing the first few seconds of the video I reported it. Today's response - "This video does not violate our policy"

The video link is https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=152449904958224 if you agree with me that this sort of video serves no positive purpose and is being used for entertainment purposes to promote a Facebook page, then please keep reporting it perhaps if they get enough reports they will actually do something about it!

Facebook's Graphic Violence Policy Stinks

Image
This morning my Facebook stream contained something really quite shocking and frankly I am not an easily shocked person at all. One of my friends had commented on a video of a an adult giving a toddler and extreme beating the likes of which I have never seen nor do I ever wish to see again. I assume the adult is the child's father and the woman filming is the mother. The video runs for over 8 minutes but I didn't get past the first 90 seconds before I had to turn it off. At first I thought it must be fake or a joke but after 90 seconds I became certain that it was not. From the Profile https://www.facebook.com/Hr.Bay The poster is NOT  a friend of mine. I understand the poster will probably say he is trying to get the guy caught but surely passing it to the relevant authorities would be more useful than asking for facebook likes?!? What is perhaps even more shocking is that I decided to report the video to Facebook - when presented with the options on my report I c

Less Annoying CRM - Why it wasn't for me but might be for you!

As you may know I am currently in pursuit of a new web based CRM system to replace ACT! which I have been running on my desktop and laptop for many years. I discussed the background in my last post on this blog. When I made my last post I had narrowed my list down to; Capsule Insightly Onepage LessAnnoying and I was still investigating the possibility of Zoho and Salesforce. Salesforce is off my list at the moment ironically because i haven't liked dealing with their Salesforce! Zoho looks more impressive every time I learn something new about it but I still haven't fathomed the pricing because of their modular approach. The first system I have looked at properly was LessAnnoyingCRM and it has a lot going for it first off it really does live up to it's name. The pricing is flat 10 US Dollars per user per month, unlimited use. And when I raised questions with their support people they came back to me quickly, with simple plain English answers - and seemed ver

Finding a Simple Online CRM - You'd think it would be easy!

This is going to be a long post. Recently I asked for your help in finding a suitable CRM system via google+ (not a back office I already have one of those) Many G+’s helped me out with suggestions and ideas - which I have worked through as you helped me I feel it is only fare that I post my findings on each of the systems so that it may be an aid to other advisers in the future. Background For many years (about 9) I have used ACT! CRM which I have highly customised in to a hybrid CRM/Back Office. I have always been very happy with ACT! it is very powerful (more than I knew now I have compared it to many of the modern offerings) I use the swiftpage emarketing add on and it does a very good job for me. Why then you might ask would I want to leave them! Well basically ACT! is a locally installed program and I have to manually sync to my laptop, it’s all fairly simple to do if not a little laborious, but that is not why I want to leave. Basically things go wrong with ACT!
