Facebook doesn't take threats on Obama seriously
On a discussion about what one thing we'd like to do before we die some guy said "Shoot Obama." I reported it to Facebook under the only security option you can report comments to status updates---a link "Report terrorist threat". I was hoping they'd notify Secret Service.

Instead they emailed me and scolded me telling me I shouldn't have reported this as a terrorist threat but as a TOS violation(they don't contact SS).

They also removed the threatening post so now there's no record of it.

1. Next time . . .
Grab a screen shot - and forward it on to the FBI yourself. THEN report it to Facebook with the note: Already submitted it but you might like to know someone broke TOS. :pals:
