Facebook Porn Has Been Removed... FINALLY!

            If you have not noticed, for the past couple of days there have been extremely graphic and disturbing images being posted of Facebook. With thousands of “likes” these images soon spread EVERYWHERE. You could not open your Facebook account without seeing an abused dog, naked women, or celebrities photoshopped to look like they were performing sexual acts. It was truly disgusting and made most of the Facebook world turn to Twitter. Many tweets said things like, “Seeing a dead dog on my Facebook news feed ... Officially deactivating it," and "I saw a dead dog, Justin Bieber [performing a sex act] and a naked grandma. Time to delete facebook." Apparently Facebook users were tricked into pasting malicious script into their URL bars, which caused them to unknowingly share the offensive content (cnn.com). Facebook has not released any information regarding who might be responsible for this immature and foul act of rebellion. They are, however, urging users to report offensive content instead of just commenting on it. By reporting it, it alerts Facebook officials to remove the content quickly.

            The writer of this article is obviously very knowledgeable in the technology world. Later in the article the author goes on to talk more about different hacking techniques and groups that might be “out to get” Facebook. This is good because it reaffirms the readers that they are reading an article written by a knowledgeable author. Other than his knowledge, the writer used quotes from Twitter regarding the Facebook scandal as well as quotes from Facebook itself. Overall this was an informative and interesting article on a disgusting and foul topic.
