I was browsing the news today and found this interesting story. It is about how when a young person dies and a memorial page is creating on facebook, some people are low enough to post nasty and down right immature lowblows on the page about the person who passed away. Recently, that has happened, as you can read about in the article above. Now, the parents of the young victim want facebook to take action--as I feel they should.
I understand that facebook cannot monitor every single profile page of the millions of pages out there; but, I feel that there is a way to prevent things like this from happening somehow. I mean, there has to be some kind of way for facebook to automatically scan comments that are offensive or whatnot.
To begin with, I can't even believe that people are idiotic and horrific enough to post offensive and negative things on memorial pages of young people who have just passed away. Seriously, have some people lost all cooth? I just don't understand how anyone can be so heartless and stir up trouble and cause more grief to families who are already grieving too much over the loss of a family member of theirs. It really breaks my heart to see stories like this. I mean, come one, we never would have hear or read about anything like this 10 or even 5 years ago. Has society lost all respect for others? I think so. I honestly feel like some people these days don't have any respect for each other anymore--which is sad.
I hope that (since I am sure this isn't the first case) Facebook does continue to improve its' efforts to control situations like this from occurring more and more. It is time that things like this be put to an end.
I truly feel sorry for this family (and the others) for having to deal with something so low like this during a time in which their hearts are broken enough from losing a young loved one.
Your thoughts?
