What is My Responsibility Regarding the Net? Part 2

Greetings again!


This is Sharita, Triad author, crazy gal with three names, I've gotten used to all the names now. LOL


Everyone has said I'm brilliant though or very organized with my three names. *grins*


Anyway, I'm back with part 2 of my post about my responsibilities regarding the net.


Such awesome response. I just responded to 4 more comments on the first blog which you can view here.  Now, I'm ready for solutions. How do I think this can be solved? How will we keep pages on FB or Google "safer"


*I know Blogger has a disclaimer up. When you create the blog, it asks you will this be a blog with adult material. Now, with all the silly things that FB has done, it can adapt a way for there to be a disclaimer. When you join, are you 18? Will your page be something that may be offensive to others?
You answer yes, FB puts up the disclaimer before the person even enters the page. That way, the owner of that page isn't targeted or cancelled because someone is purposely reporting pictures or posts for some other reason than offensive. Believe me people it happens. Its happening now on FB.


*FB could be more clear about what they consider "offensive"


I've seen naked women, some say they've seen child porn, people having sex with animals, IDK, some of this I haven't caught. However, pics of men clothed, kissing, or even if its one like the one above, has been flagged on some peoples pages. In this case I bring up Dan Skinner who is a photographer, he creates beautiful homoerotic images. 

This is one of his more tame images. 2 men hugging, a nude back. What is the offense here? Well, he's been reported and taken down 2 times now. 


Not specifically for this pic but others. I mean, really people? Why can't FB take the time to look at what is truly offensive and make a determination before taking down someones hard work? In the case of Dan, his FB was his business contacts. A lot of his models, companies he's worked with were tied to that page.


UNREAL. All because someone doesn't like homoerotic photos.


*How about an ADULT Facebook?


Now this is my least favorite solution. Why? Because it opens a can of worms. A license to put porn out there or hate pages, something I don't want to see. However, with all the work the higher ups do at FB they could make a more ADULT side of FB for people like authors and photographers like Dan to showcase their work.


Sort of like Literotica where everything goes but its all sexual. Pretty much nothing is off limits there. I've seen and read some interesting stuff. Some I dont even like but I'm not reporting it, I'm not blasting the person that posted it. Skip it and move on. That's the key.


What are you achieving by reporting a page? If its hate speech against minorities or gays or child porn, then yes, you are doing your part but you're reporting a picture because of a woman's nipple showing? Really? When will FB wisen up? It's driving a lot of people away, most running to Google plus since you can pick and choose your circles with one click. Not, picking names out of your 590 friends. That is a pain in the ass, to say the least.


Maybe you guys have better ones? If you do, please leave a comment. Thanks for listening to me ramble.
