Accidently Banning Photos

No matter what social networking site you are a part of, you have to be extremely careful about what you post. Heather Walker, a mother from Memphis, posted pictures of her deceased newborn on Facebook. Facebook censors deleted the images because they felt that they could be considered offensive or graphic, but soon apologized because they realized that the photos didn't break any of Facebook's codes. Do you think officials were right in deleting the photos? Read more about the incident and how Facebook decides what should be deleted/ banned from its site by following the link below.

    I think people really need to think before they post things on the internet. It was right for the officials to delete the photos because it could be very offensive to other users. I don't know why Heather Walker would even want to post that on her Facebook. I think Facebook should have the right to delete users photos if they find them inappropriate or offensive because clearly the users don't and need to see they are wrong.
