Facebook not to allow users to change pictures after Ankara bomb

Facebook will not help its users to change their profile pictures in support of the Ankara bombing, despite having done it for other terror attacks such as those in Paris, The Independent reports.

Many have criticised the international response to the bombing for appearing to value terrorist attacks in countries like France or the UK over those in Turkey. And Facebook will not give users the option to change their profile photo in support of victims.

The site does offer a tool that allows people to change their profile picture temporarily, and set the time that it will stick around. That feature was introduced in the wake of the popular Paris and same sex marriage filters.
