There are a lot of negative things about facebook.  I understand some people wish there was a way to censor what you see...wait a minute you do!!!  By controlling your friends you control this, and if you dislike facebook then you don't have to go on there.

You cannot control totally what ads you see.  And like others have said sometimes people use it just to communicate with people who are family that live all across the country.  No you don't have to go on there but you have a right to be upset about seeing something as disturbing as what the OP described.

I closed my account on Facebook over 5 years ago  & have been happier ever since.
Tired of all the drama, tired of having to check it, tired of reading posts by people who are trying to pretend they are something they are not, tired of Facebook collecting my data, not only on the site, but for up to 30 days in the web browser you were using. Tired of Facebook data mining in my personal messages & then showing me ads they think I might like due to personal conversation. 
Good riddance Facebook... none of my kids even use it any longer, it's old school to them.  lol

I do Instagram, because I like to see pictures & quick captions while I'm standing in lines or waiting, or whatever.  No drama.   

I have been doing Twitter... what a hateful world it is on there, so much hate.  BUT they do post unedited news/ people do live periscopes so one can form their own opinions with the press editing it
 down to what opinion they want you to have, fitting their narrative.

That's my social media rundown.   

You can manually clear out the cookies every day.  I do.  And I don't care about people pretending to be something they are not.  I don't have to check it and I don't have to read it.  I quickly scroll down every few days and look at stuff.

I do get put off with the random vague posts then people get mad if you ask what they are talking about.

I used to use facebook a lot more, but I haven't gone there regularly in a few years. I don't remember who a lot of the people are who I'm friends with LOL!  It's all ads and politics and drama and games and nonsense. If I need to get in contact with someone I like being able to send them a message but I don't visit there daily.

Facebook actually makes it pretty easy to get rid of stuff you don't want to see. Either play by their rules/settings are just don't use it. I use it a lot, but I hide people I don't want to see and report offensive pages. I wouldn't use it if it upset me.

I'm VERY careful about who I communicate with on Facebook.  Just close friends.

The internet itself is both bad and good. I once saw the most horrible abuse of a little child by a babysitter on Facebook and it still haunts me. :sad1:

I have to be careful about the people I follow.

I'm sorry you had experience that but Facebook offers a way to communicate with family and friends that don't live near you.  I also like to play the games on Facebook.

I have so many friends and family on face book and love staying in touch with them. But some of the junk that is put on is a little hard to take, It seems like I am  trying to get rid of more and more and yet stuff keeps showing up.  So I guess  I will take the good with the bad. The fake news is always a pain in the  rear though.

OMG really????? It's getting worse... that is sooo sad and terrible.... I guess FB is getting slowly out of control.. I hope they reported who posted the video (and the owner, etc).. and that they took it down by now
