This is absurd but then America is an absurd society where violence is okay but nudity is not. I read a great quote from Jack Nicholson last night about this: “Suck a boob, you’re an X. Cut it off, you’re an R.”
Facebook’s point seems to be that you can post a beheading video if the purpose is to cultivate moral outrage. But what if someone posts a beheading
and it gets 100,000 likes? Or what if some talentless American pop star gets beheaded and the video gets posted? I doubt Facebook would allow that.
Inconsistent policies like this are a slippery slope.
