[Closed] Upsetting pics on Facebook

Probably need to delete it via the pc front end for it

Oh ok, best get out of bed then 🙁

Depends what iOS you are running. You should be able to hold your finger on the app icon until it wobbles. Then use the delete option

No need to get out of bed. You can get the full Facebook site on the iPhone. Just hit "Desktop Site" at the bottom of the mobile site.

It wouldn't work Graham, I've done it from the main page from the laptop. Done now anyway, thank you!

swipe over the story/picture on the iOS FB app from right to lefty and a little 'x' should appear - hit that and boom , gone!

Nope, that didn't work? I know it can be done like that though, my phone must be playing up >|

Options / Report this photo.

Really grinds my gears when people share sh**e like that, that's not what The Facebook is for...

Yeah, as Shibboleth said you can click on the photo, click options and report it. Stuff like that normally gets removed fairly quickly.

Or spam the poster with images of your menstrual outgoings, mourning the loss of potential.

Says who?

<not that I'd agree with the image, just that I agree with free speech including my ability to report the photo>

If getting out of bed is an issue just throw the phone to the other side of the room and the picture can no longer bother you 🙄

I've had this issue. As you can't seem to fix it without being at a computer, follow these steps until you can block the person or delete their post:

1. Don't look at Facebook
2. Repeat step 1

LoLing at mrstoast 😆

Lol, I dragged myself from my bed and got to the laptop, then reported it, it was hugely offensive and all the comments below it asked her to take it off, including one lady who'd had five miscarriages, she didn't want to see it but once it's popped up on your feed you've sort of seen it so it can't be unseen if you know what I mean.

some religious loon

ah, so you must be some atheist/agnostic loon

Facebook is a "social media", ergo, the norms of common decency and social acceptability are just as relevant as in "real life". If your social skills prevent you from understanding acceptable social conventions (such as you don't inflict distressing images on unsuspecting people) then perhaps you should address your shortcomings before using social media. 😉

Alternatively Emma could be a well balanced religious person, unless she's offered to punch you in the knob too!

I don't know what image was being discussed, but what one person finds normal some may find distressing. How far do you want to go with this censorship? Who says you're right and your line is the correct one to draw?

Again coffeeking, I think you need to take a long hard look at your social skills if you think anyone would post a picture of a dead foetus for any other reason than to cause shock and distress.

much as it makes my skin crawl to agree with Shibboleth, I think that's a very fair point..

for a bit of balance, this was lifted from facebook a few moments ago..
😀

Wow! You have evidence of something that happens "when we die"?!!! Where can I see it?

wow.. that's a bit out of leftfield.. who's that directed at woppit..?

The. Post. Above. Mine. ie: yours. 🙄

Have you taken the medication this morning?

why would I want to attempt to provide evidence for a light hearted conceptual meme to some random loon the internet..?
or to anyone for that matter..?

.

but almost perfectly formed..?

Wow! [s]You[/s] someone (not you) on Facebook has evidence of something that happens "when we die"?!!! Do you know if [s]You[/s] someone (not you) on Facebook knows where can I see it?

That better for you?

Sounds to me like Coffeeking isn't the only person who's not fit to be let loose on social media...

🙄

woppit - blah blah blah blah

hmmm... it struck me as more of an amusing idea to be considered for light relief than a call to throw ourselves at the mercy of reincarnation cults..

I guess we have differing perspectives..

now then.. I really have to get out the door and up onto the moor.. I've already missed sunrise by more than 8and a half hours..

Do you know if You someone (not you) on Facebook knows where can I see it?

You want to look out of a woman's fanny Woppit ?

Is it something you would die for ?

hmmm... it struck me as more of an amusing idea to be considered for light relief

Me too. Sorry, I mean - "blah blah blah".

I was a medical examiner for police pathology and seen some gruesome things that would make some of you throw up, but I'm not affected as long as it doesn't smell too bad.

Doesn't mean I would post pics on Facebook You should be aware of the consequences of your actions.

Now where did I leave my lunch?

Now where did I leave my lunch?

Was it in the toaster Frankenstein ?

I'm pretty sure that the picture posted is designed to shock people isn't it. ?

If its what I'm thinking of, it's an anti abortion thing designed to make people think of an unborn foetus as a "baby"
And if people find it offensive, then it's kind of worked hasn't it ?

I'm not saying I agree with posting it on Facebook, but it seems to have had the desired effect at least.

It wouldn't alter my views on abortion. It would just offend me that someone thought it acceptable to post things like that in a place where I might see them.

No one has the right to not be offended.

This thread is beginning to remind me of ...

Political correction is the oppression of our intellectual movement so no one says anything anymore just in case anyone else get’s offended.

"What happens if you say that and someone gets offended?"

Well they can be offended, can’t they? What’s wrong with being offended? When did stick and stones may break my bones stop being relevant? Isn’t that what you teach children? "He called me an idiot!" Don’t worry about it, he’s a dick.

[b]Now you have adults going “I was offended, I was offended and I have rights!” Well so what, be offended, nothing happened. You’re an adult, grow up, and deal with it.[/b] I was offended! Well, I don’t care! Nothing happens when you’re offended. “I went to the comedy show and the comedian said something about the lord, and I was offended, and when I woke up in the morning, I had leprosy."

Nothing Happens. “I want to live in a democracy but I never want to be offended again.” Well you’re an idiot.

How do you make a law about offending people? How do you make it an offense to offend people? Being offended is subjective. It has everything to do with you as an individual or a collective, or a group or a society or a community. Your moral conditioning, your religious beliefs.

What offends me may not offend you. And you want to make laws about this? I’m offended when I see boy bands for god sake.

It’s a valid offense, I’m offended. They’re cooperate shills, posing as musicians to further a modeling career and frankly I’m disgusted.

Joao3v16, society has unwritten, self-imposed boundaries for decency and good taste. Pictures of dead babies would generally fall on the far side of those boundaries.

And I pray that those boundaries stay in place and that crap like that passage you've just posted doesn't dissuade people from maintaining a sense of good taste and compassion for others for fear of being labelled a politically correct censor.

I'm none of those things, but I don't want to see things like that.

Some people may remember that I posted about a request made by a good friend to "improve" some photos of his twins that were stillborn at 5 months. This was because he'd been advised by the grief counsellors at the hospital to show pictures to his other daughter to help her with the grieving process.

It was the most harrowing thing I've ever been asked to do, and as the OP said, some things just can't be "unseen". But I agreed because they thought it would help them.

As a compassionate human being (yes, really), there's no way I could put those pictures in the public domain for everyone to see. Why should everyone else have that memory when they don't need it?

You do realise that the images were posted on Facebook to reinforce the anti abortion message.

Your friend sadly lost his babies at 5 months. And the picture posted on Facebook (I would imagine) is an aborted 24 week old foetus (slightly older than your friends twins)

Some people feel very strongly about getting that message across, and I don't suppose they are too worried about offending a few people, because it may just persuade one person that adoption could be a better option.

(I'm not expressing any views either way, but I totally understand why they posted the pictures. And that they have every right to do so.)

[i]I'm pretty sure that the picture posted is designed to shock people isn't it. ?

No, that's a picture of Dr. Frankestein. I think an abortion looks slightly different.

Isn't the point more that Facebook is not the right place for this - it is a "shock tactic", clearly orchestrated to do so and by the sounds of it achieved its purpose. The point is not whether someone has a "right not to be offended" but more that the context or medium in which the message was broadcast. If you go to a comedy show and are offended by the content then you chose to be there and put yourself at risk. As for Facebook it is a social networking site and not a campaigning forum.

The thousands of "Facebook Campaigns" would disprove that theory I suspect.

Also, you choose to be on Facebook, just like you choose to go to a comedy show.

I can't see much difference.
