As if you didn’t have enough reasons to hate Facebook Messenger. So not only is Facebook Messenger preventing you from sharing SFW content from specific, blacklisted sites, for pretty much no reason other than that they don’t like them-it’s also not doing a very good job of blocking them, either.
Cant send gifs on facebook messenger free#
When Reason tried to send videos from lesser known free porn sites like 4Tube, Facebook Messenger allowed them to send the link. (Whether or not that argument is actually valid is a different story: A 2011 Symantec report, for instance, determined porn sites were far less likely to be infected with malware than shopping sites or blogs were.)īut what’s weird about this specific anti-adult content policy is that it appears to be inconsistent. It also makes sense that Facebook would say they block users from posting such sites because the links are “unsafe,” to preemptively deflect criticism that the site is blocking such content for the purpose of user censorship. Given how many other social media platforms have anti-pornography policies, it makes sense why Facebook Messenger wouldn’t let users send such content. A similar message came up when I tried to send my friend a totally SFW economics lecture that also happened to be posted on Xvideos: When Hemmelgarn tried to send the link, a message popped up saying the app had detected “a link that our security systems detected to be unsafe,” blocking him from sending the content.
Although the video itself was totally SFW, it nonetheless failed to pass muster with Facebook Messenger.
