Facebook graphic video u-turn
David Cameron has said he is "pleased" Facebook has changed its approach to hosting graphic videos after the site removed a video that showed a woman being beheaded.
'It's down to us whether we look or not'
Responding to a question on the ITV News Facebook page, some users sided with Facebook and suggested it was important that we had the chance to see the "shocking things" that happen around the world:
- Karen Groombridge: Whether we like it or not shocking things happen in this world and No government has the right to hide it. It's down to us as individuals whether We look or not.
But the majority of responses were again in agreement with David Cameron:
- Jan Scott: On this one I agree with him! Why would anyone in their right mind want to watch someone being beheaded ? It's shocking the things you see on fb that just pop up as it is. I get sick of reporting these terrible images!
- Martin Phillp: So Facebook is more than happy to show beheadings, yet as someone shows the tiniest bit of what is considered sexual flesh and an adult, Facebook will stop the account.
