Facebook in Organ Donation Push: http://www.giveakidney.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/GAKOE-Newsletter-Aug-20122.pdf
Inspired by friends
Simon Milner, the UK policy director at
Facebook, told the BBC: “This is about
making it easier for families in that highly
emotional time as somebody dies, that they
know this person is a registered organ donor.
“The second thing is to encourage
people who may have thought about it in
the past, but have just not got round to it
or who might be inspired by finding out
that 10 of their friends are organ donors, or
100 of their friends are organ donors, that
they want to do it too. We think there’ll be a
double benefit from this.”

according to the Guardian, Simon Milner, director of policy at Facebook U.K., said the video should stay up to make the abuse public so that more people would see it and be able to help the baby in distress. "Our response has been it does not breach our terms, but it is a disturbing and distressing video," he said on BBC's Radio 4. "And therefore it's right that we put up a warning ... and only if it is shared in the context of condemning it."
In the case of this baby video, Milner hopes the child's abusers can be exposed and the baby will be protected.
"We have seen from experience that when things like that are shared on Facebook it can and does lead to the rescue of the child," Milner said, according to the Guardian. "We hope very much that this will happen in this case."
