I chose the article “Two Persons Held in Jammu for Uploading Objectionable Video on Social Media”. This article is all about two people who uploaded a video that was “objectionable”. Police said that the video they uploaded “hurt the sentiments of the community”. The article wasn’t very long and didn’t give a whole lot of detail, but that’s why I chose it because that makes it all the more intriguing to me. It leaves a lot of unanswered questions about the article. First, I think that if it was that objectionable, the social media site would have taken it down or reported it, rather than leave it up. Secondly, I would really like to know what is the definition of an objectionable video and by whom and how is that decided? In my opinion, it is a little bit ridiculous to put two people in jail for a video that hurt the sentiments of the community. Of course on the other hand of that I don't know what the video was of or who posted it. I also believe that what could be seen as objectionable by one person could be completely fine to another person.
I am going to disagree with you about the website taking down something "objectionable." Yes, we do not know a lot of details, or what the video was, but I feel like Facebook, mostly, leaves up so many terrible things. Death threats, nude photos, very graphic sexual meme's and things of that nature. Now, I know I can scroll right past it, but what I hate most is when a friend of my likes that gross photo, or shares it, it pops up on my newsfeed. How do we protect our children from those things, when we can't even keep it hidden? I just wish Facebook would go back to being able to post pictures, and posts on walls. I do like a lot of articles I find on Facebook, but what I don't like is how people are able to speak their minds, cuss, argue, call people names and even threaten them. There needs to be a lot more control over things like that.
