The social media giant Facebook has come under fire for posing some highly inappropriate questions about pedophiles, and evangelist Franklin Graham is especially enraged.
Facebook posted the survey asking users if it is acceptable for pedophiles to proposition underage girls for "sexual pictures," according to USA Today. It is normal for Facebook to use surveys in order to get feedback from its users, but the questions it posted recently made people quite upset.
One of the questions read: "In thinking about an ideal world where you could set Facebook's policies, how would you handle the following: a private message in which an adult man asks a 14-year-old girl for sexual pictures."
In response, Facebook users could answer either "this content should not be allowed on Facebook, and no one should be able to see it" or "this content should be allowed on Facebook, and I would not mind seeing it."
Another question asked users whether they themselves or the people handling social media should be the ones deciding whether or not an adult man can solicit sexual pictures on Facebook. They could answer "Facebook users decide the rules by voting and tell Facebook" or "Facebook decides the rules on its own."
Graham strongly criticized the recent survey on his own Facebook page. "Why would Facebook ask such a question?" he wrote. "They surveyed users asking if pedophiles should be able to ask children for sexual pictures. It just shows you how low our moral standards in this country have fallen. Many people today don't seem to recognize right from wrong."
Facebook has since then pulled out the survey, and Graham is glad. "To have a survey asking this is ridiculous and it's shameful. Pedophilia is just wickedness," he added.
