“IFA History Feature” brought to you by Messe-Berlin
To bring color to the TV, new technologies had to be invented. The German Werner Flechsig in 1938 got a first patent for a stripe mask, separating red, green and blue with filters. That was the basis for color tubes, but it came too early. Nine years later in 1947, after World War 2, RCA developed a first prototype with such a shadow mask, the screen was no bigger than a postcard. In 1954, finally the market started in the United States with a round tube about 22 inches. BBC in the UK and Russian television began trials with color television. IFA was, of course, the showcase for these innovations as well.
Howard in Tyler, Texas listening on KTBB sent us the following question: “I have been trying to set up a Facebook page for an organization and stumble across a similar page of an organization that is basically is pornographic and in their mass head they have pictures that shouldn’t be up there. I have tried reporting it to Facebook but the site is still there and although they change the pictures it not getting corrected. I would appreciate your help.”
Howard, If you reported it to Facebook, you might have the option to check the status of the report from the Support Dashboard. To go into the Support Dashboard, log onto Facebook on a computer, at the top right of the page choose settings, and then click Support Dashboard.
Facebook has an image explaining the extremely convoluted process that reports go through, and most reports seem to end in a warning to the reported party. Even if it all ends with Facebook blocking the page, the person blocked may be able to appeal the decision
Between the huge number of complaints they must regularly get, and the fact that you’re not Facebook’s client but their product, it’s very likely that they will take their time to review your report and take any action. After all, it’s not in their best interest to lower the number of users they can report when they pitch themselves to potential advertisers.Unless what’s happening is illegal or likely to bring with it very bad PR, don’t expect much to happen.
We also need to add that what is considered pornographic varies by audience, and Facebook is a global service. For example, By conservative Muslim standards, the beach pictures from the last vacation showed FAR too much skin and are pornographic.
