Have you ever flagged a photo on Facebook as ‘offensive’? If so, did you feature in an unflattering way in the image?
While you ponder over the answer, here is what Facebook has to say. The networking site revealed that, during 2011, the majority of photos flagged as ‘offensive’ by users were actually ones they were embarrassed about.
Now, does that answers your problem with Facebook about not taking any actions regarding the photo you flagged?
When Facebook investigates an ‘offensive’ post, it will take it down only if it proves to be genuinely offensive.
The company reveals to the NPR that no matter how much you dislike a photo, it won’t take it down simply because you don’t like the image for vanity reasons.
Facebook will take down offensive photos even if someone doesn’t report it – when terms and conditions are not followed – but won’t delete unwanted photos even if someone flags it. It’s up to the uploaders to decide.
So, why don’t we cut the guys some slack and work out the issues of unflattering photos among ourselves, and let the guys work on some other genuine problems of ours like login or account problems instead? With over 800 million users and 250 million photos being posted on the site every day….well, don’t you think those guys need some break? Just my though!
