People! Please understand the mechanics of facebook if you use it. It is an instrument, a medium, tool, just like dynamite and antibiotics.  You can use it for good and for evil. You can unknowingly use it for good, and unknowingly use it for evil.

Facebook is like a child, it craves attention. You can reward good behavior (like and friend people who make a positive contribution), you can reward bad behavior (unfriend the post, report it), whichever one you choose, YOU are an accomplice.  If you repost terror, abuse, destruction, cruelty, then you are an accomplice to those acts because you give them voice, and validity. If you punish a child, you still reward them… the behaviors become set.  If you repost goodness, honest reporting, facts (not just fake facts), then you are helping humanity.

Legally, if you stand by a friend while he/she shoots and kills someone, you are an accomplice, you can be tried and convicted. if you watch on facebook, cruelty and abuse, then you become an accomplice by rewarding inhumanity. (Too bad you can’t be held accountable)(yet).

Be responsible.  It is a mob of thoughtless and unconscious reposting and fake news that has the potential to engender much evil and hatred.  Facebook is no different than a stoning mob or a lynch mob for evil… it is mob behavior, fueled by anxiety, and depravity.  It can be a mob for good, a march and a crusade, fueled by love and by caring and by the desire to make the world a better place.
