....For "awareness" purposes apparently. What are deemed to be "extremely disturbing" photos of animal torture and mutilation, it appears are to be marked "disturbing". However if the images/video content is said to be celebratory or sadistic, they get pulled off.

Okay who is doing the discriminating? Overwhelmed moderators who have to abide by the rule manual because Facebook is scared of being non-PC and quashing free speech!
The excuse apparently is that there are so many millions of posts and not enough moderators, so more are being recruited. Yet each moderator has on average 10 seconds to review a post and make a decision....and all the while they are shackled by the "rule book"!
Meanwhile human nudity (re: digital images) is strictly not allowed. Nor are sexual images.
So it appears we are supposed to consider sex and nudity more horrendous than animal abuse?!
Facebook also allows images of child abuse to be posted so long as they are not sexual!
Tell that to a six year old who gets beaten black and blue for entertainment purposes! Facebook also allows videos of abortions but there must be no nudity in the footage!
This is shocking and sickening and something is very VERY wrong here!
I actually have no time for Facebook. I keep my account only because it is the only way of conversing with a good old friend who now lives in the Far East. Otherwise I would no longer have anything to do with it.
