Facebook have been forced into an embarrassing u-turn after admitting they made a MISTAKE in refusing to take down hardcore porn.
The social network giant told Mirror Online they had incorrectly assessed a graphic music video as being suitable for viewing.
Earlier today, Facebook came under fire after they told a stunned user that the shocking music video showing graphic sex scenes did not breach "community guidelines".
The video, by German rock group Rammstein, showed men and women engaged in full sex and also had scenes of women performing sex acts on themselves and men.
Sam Jewsbury told Mirror Online he could not believe it when he stumbled across the video while looking through a heavy metal page on Facebook.
He reported the video to Facebook but was stunned to be told it did not breach "community guidelines" and that it would not be taken down.
He said: "When Facebook stop pictures of a woman who has had a double mastectomy within minutes but they let videos like this it's double standards it's horrendous."
After Mirror Online contacted the social network, they reassessed the video and made the startling admission they had been WRONG in their original decision.
A spokeswoman for Facebook said: "We have removed the page for breaking our standards.
"As our team review thousands of reports each day they occasionally make a mistake.
"When this happens we take swift action to correct it.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and urge people to report things to us if they think they break our rules.
