Why does Facebook allow pages that can only be described as sickening be allowed?
Pages like

"dead baby jokes"

"Cancer is funny cause people die"

These pages must be reported by 10,000's of users of facebook but they are still there.

Why?? Surely to god freedom of speech shouldn't allow people to be so sickening?

Sorry, but 'Freedom of Speech' DOES protect 'sickening'.
You are free to ignore, and censure, but not to censor.

They do take off some of those pages.
By the way, @Irv S, facebook is a private company, and can censor the content posted on its sites.

Because Facebook EXPECTS People to Self-censor Each Other- by NOT looking at such Garbage. Crying to Facebook about it- is NOT going to make it "go away..." Sad

Only those things that " YOU" approve of ?
They are free to post,you are free to avoid.
Narrow minded censorship Groupie.

sick humour is like AIDS.....not everybody will get it
you don't have to view such pages if its not your cup of liquidized dead baby
ffs but it don't mean you are right
Sigmund Freud in his 1927 essay Humour (Der Humor) puts forth the following theory of the gallows humor: "The ego refuses to be distressed by the provocations of reality, to let itself be compelled to suffer. It insists that it cannot be affected by the traumas of the external world; it shows, in fact, that such traumas are no more than occasions for it to gain pleasure." Some other sociologists elaborated this concept further.
Gallows humor has the social effect of strengthening the morale of the oppressed and undermines the morale of the oppressors.According to Wylie Sypher, "to be able to laugh at evil and error means we have surmounted them."
At his public execution, the murderer William Palmer said to have looked at the trapdoor on the gallows and asked the hangman, "Are you sure it's safe?"
