Facebook has started adding alert messages to violent content shared via its network. The new alerts are meant to prevent people under the age of 18 from viewing violent images such as murders shown in documentaries or news reports. The decision follows pressure from both critics and Facebooks safety advisors after graphic videos showing beheadings of hostages were displayed to users under 18. Future protective measures may include warnings on YouTube videos and distressing photos, Facebook announced in a statement on its Community Standards page. The company says graphic images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence have no place on our site.”]
