Why does something like this need to be decided based upon "popular" opinion? Popular opinion once thought it was a-okay for people to be able to own another human being. Popular opinion does NOT equal morality. Either you have morals and you know what should happen in this situation or you are a lousy human being who is looking for an excuse to justify this type of behavior.

Here's what we should do:

  1. Push for legislation that REQUIRES Fakebook (and other social media companies -- whether or not they are American companies, if they allow Americans to access their site, that is enough to apply it to them) to report this thing to the police.

  2. Fakebook (and others) should also IMMEDIATELY terminate the account. That won't prevent the pervs from creating another account, but it would at least suck some of their time away as they have to set up another account. You can get banned for much less than this -- including spreading "fake news", so why would it not be okay to terminate these accounts?

  3. We already know that Fakebook and others monitor what users type, so detecting this type of behavior should be a piece of cake. You shouldn't even have to rely on reporting (which most kids WON'T do, even if they are grossed out or scared by it). If they are going to spy on us, shouldn't we at least expect that they "protect the kids" which is why (along with "protecting us from terrorism") they claim to be doing most of this stuff anyway?

  4. Asking kids for pics is only 1 part of the problem. There is a HUGE problem with kids being sent dick pics randomly. It happened to my daughter when she was only 12. I allowed her to use a chat app with her friends on a computer in an open area of the house where I could monitor it and she received multiple dick pics within the first couple of hours she was on. She didn't tell me immediately because she didn't want me to block it with parental controls. It is unfair that kids have to lose the ability to chat with one another because adults can't behave themselves, but apparently adults can't actually behave like adults. A 12 year old boy sending my daughter a dick pic would have been bad enough, but if I could have tracked down these perverts, I swear to God I would gone Lorena Bobbitt on their asses and mounted some dick trophies on my wall ...
