I think you're right. I think that Facebook's problem is that it would rather pretend that NSFW content doesn't exist and isn't being shared on their network, which is just foolish. I would rather see better tools akin to what Voat has when dealing with NSFW content and graphic footage. Let me mark a post as NSFW when I share it to disable autoplay and hide the thumbnail. Give users those tools and stop ignoring the problem completely.

I can't speak for everyone, but I saw the video without having a description of what it actually was. It was just a youtube link. Say what you want about censorship, but at the very least, put up a warning. I genuinely felt sickened and disturbed by what I saw. Would never have clicked the link if I knew it was the killer filming from his point of view.
