Concern about videos
spread through Facebook showing people being decapitated has prompted a member
of the firm's own safety advisory board to say it will raise the issue with the
social network.
It said people had a right to depict the real world.
However, the US's Family Online Safety Institute told the BBC the graphic nature of the violence involved meant that the material had "crossed a line".
"Personally and professionally I feel that Facebook has got this call wrong," said Stephen Balkam, the organisation's chief executive.
Charities in the UK have also called on the social network to reconsider its stance saying the material could cause long-term psychological damage.
