5 Types of posts Facebook should ban

While Facebook is still going around banning certain posts, here are some we’d like to see go off the site forever…
Facebook has spent a better part of this week flip-flopping over whether or not it should let videos depicting violent acts such as beheading exist on the website. The social networking website lifted a blanket ban it had levied on videos of people being beheaded by violent extremists, only if the poster in this case had been condemning the act.
Of course, this is one of the silliest things we’ve all heard. The person in question was needed to put in a caption that indicated that he did not subscribe to the brand of violence. Facebook soon saw its erroneous ways and decided to make yet another U-turn and ban these videos altogether. Now, this made us think of all the other kind of posts that deserve to be booted off the website and made a nice little list for you. We’re sure you will find these as irksome as we do, but if you don’t, be nice, for one man’s poison is another’s food. Or was it the other way round? Religious Bigotry: Imagine scrolling through your News Feed, checking out all those funny images and posts, followed by some from relatives and bam! Here’s a completely baseless, off the mark post about some religion’s superiority hits you like a medicinal pill inside a gulab-jamun. The funny bit about posts that tell you that the Internet is ruining religion are actually using the Internet to post them. Irony just stabbed itself and jumped off a cliff. ![]() Umm, what? Oh wait, apparently bursting colourful candies on Candy Crush Saga is the new in-thing on Facebook. In any case, it isn’t really difficult for you to simply say “I don’t wish to invite my friends,” instead of thinking, “Oh yes, I know who’d love to play this game. My classmate from kindergarten with whom my only interaction anymore is a happy birthday post once a year.” ![]() That’s a promise Facebook banning canoodling couple updates off the website will ensure that you won’t feel overtly pessimistic about your own Forever Alone status and will actually try to go out and socialise with the hope of finding love. Just don’t start posting on the website once you do. ![]() OMG, no one cares! You can now use an emoticon to show you’re all sad and dejected or even happy and gay – pun unintended – without really needing to say why. The “Missing someone,” “Thinking of someone,” “I loved you so much but you broke my heart when you fell in love with my twin sister,” posts are just plain irksome. These are just waiting for comments like “What happened, baby?” pretty much like that annoying uncle of yours waits for you to ask “Who’s there?” to his sad knock-knock jokes. And you know things are just going downhill when the reply to the aforementioned “What happened, baby?” is plain and simple, “Nothing”. Let’s start a petition. ![]() Please ban this The worst kind of combination, though, would be the religious bigot who asks you to share images, lest the Gods descend from heaven and spite you. ![]() I love you mom, and I will share this!
