I'm surprised no-one asked this before, but here goes, If Mark Zuckerberg is such an all round good guy, straight up and down person, how come Facebook hasn't got a bad words filter of any description?
I'm not a regular contributor, in fact I started my account only because I moved from England to Cyprus, to keep in touch with family, but thereby lies the problem. Many of my 'friends' on there are minors, my nephews and nieces back in the UK. Now, I have 'friends' here that post profanities in almost every sentence, don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude, I swear and cuss with the best, but not in front of children, so why is it allowed on FB? Unless the site is designated as 'Adult' which FB is not, cussing and profanity should be filtered. Am I right, or am I just way behind the times on this?
