Facebook users, some of them appearing to be minors looking for attention, have taken to posting nude pictures of themselves on the website. Other users have also reported pornographic images, links and videos appearing on their newsfeeds.
A number of users are apparently posting nude or racy pictures of themselves on their Facebook pages. Alarmingly, some of these users are minors out to seek attention, who might be unaware of the consequences of their actions, or how far the images might spread on the Internet.
According to a Reuters report, Facebook is also investigating a rash of unsolicited graphic images, Internet links and videos that hit some users' accounts this week.
Many of these pages are public and therefore viewable by all, including underage users. Facebook is aware of this, and is taking action to identify those responsible, as well as address software vulnerabilities.
Concerned by the trend, STOMPer Bingo wrote:
"Seriously what has Facebook turned into?
"I found this post on Facebook. Young adults are posting more and more pornographic pictures on Facebook that may pollute the minds of netizens.
"From the photo, it seems that some people are seeking attention though social networks. It so unbelievable!"
STOMPer PrivacyPlease also commented:
"Parents please be aware of what your children might be exposed to. If you thought Facebook was just a safe place for them to interact with their peers, think again.
"There are exhibitionists online who think nothing of exposing themselves online, or the sensitive pictures of others. Some of them are even underage.
"To all users -- please note that there is a function on Facebook that allows you to report undesirable images to the administrators. Please help keep Facebook a useful social media tool, not a place for sickos to spread such material to children."
Said another STOMPer:
"Fourteen-year-olds nowadays!
"I found an inappropriate photo spreading around on Facebook.
"I was really shocked when I first encountered the photo. I'm not a uptight person and I have no issues against girls dressing up sexily. But outright nakedness is definitely not sexy.
"The younger generation has to be educated that such actions are not 'sexy', most will refer the pictures as 'slutty'."
