Recently there has been a lot of debating on Facebook regarding what should and shouldn't be allowed to be published by it's users (whether it be in groups, fan pages, etc.) There have been many who have set out to "ban" other people's groups simply because they find the content inappropriate or distasteful. But after much discussion, we know that banning content based on our opinion of it is not a suitable solution. Everybody has a right to express their own opinions, sense of humour etc. - but we also realise that there are those who call for a means to control what they are being subject to. To that end, the only logical solution is for Facebook to include a system by which search results can be filtered based on various category/subject tags - and also have content filtered based on the user's age (i.e. an 18+ tag) This petition is being created so that we can build a list of people who agree with this idea and present it to Facebook to show them that this is what their users are asking for. Please sign to aid this cause, and thank you for your time and support :-)

The massive surge in support proves that Facebook can no longer hide behind their current policies. These executives are deliberately ignoring a simple solution because they refuse to give users control over their own experience.

Free speech is one thing but let people choose what they want to see. Too much trash on here lately.

Totally agree. Some of the stuff people post is just nasty and I shouldn't have to see it just because they think it's funny.

THIS. I am tired of reporting stuff only for them to do nothing about it. Give us the tools to block it ourselves.
