Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Facebook is helping users show their support for the people of Paris in the wake of Friday’s terror attacks by allowing them to apply the colors of France’s national flag to their profile pictures. The feature is similar to one Facebook rolled out earlier this year that allowed users to apply rainbow-colored filters to their profile pictures to celebrate gay pride. http://time.com/4113171/paris-attacks-facebook-filter-french-flag-profile-picture/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

creeves 245 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Probably an unpopular opinion, but I hate these kinds of gestures. It's worthless feel-good crap for the person who changes their profile pic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 I knew these type of responses would come in. I'll answer plain and simple and you may not like it: In these other places you mentioned terrorism has become the norm, sadly. You hear of attacks every week it seems. In the Western world this is NOT the norm and we pray it does not become the norm. Plus, Facebook is an American company with Western values who will obviously do something like this. If they did this for every tragedy we'd be changing profile picture everyday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? This is a case of a terrorist shooting in a civilian area neither accustomed nor prepared for the situation. All of them are tragic, but none of the cases are comparable in terms of immediate psychological impact. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way the internet works. Hell it's the way real life works. Can't talk about one bad situation without people starting to compare "who had it worst". Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

I didnt even read all the countries you mentioned. And since Israel is also one of the countries which faces terror almost everyday. But don't derail the topic. Thank you.
