Let us flag users sending dick pics: Woman’s campaign against Facebook

Written by : TNM Staff

An American woman has started a change.org petition to get Facebook to change its community guidelines so that women can report users who send them unwanted dick pics.

Los Angeles-based Alexandra Tweten’s petition asks Facebook to change its guidelines and allow users to report that a particular user has sent them unsolicited penis pictures. It has over 18,500 signatures.

Watch video of how it would be if such behaviour was actually done in the real world.

According to Alexandra, a lot of men send dick pics on Facebook, and points out that such behaviour is illegal in some countries as it amounts to harassment. Addressing men, she says:

“I’m not against showing your business to people who have said they want to see it. If you get the green light, send as many dick pics as your heart desires. I’m just saying, you can’t walk up to a stranger and show them your junk in the real world, because that's harassment.”
