ABC News Tackles 'Incest Debate' On Facebook

Ten times as many people responded to a controversial question on the ABC News Facebook page than the typical item gets.

The ABC News page on Facebook got a spike in postings in response to posing the question, “Should incest be permitted between consenting adults?”

Some 311 commenters responded to the post since it first went up about six hours ago. That’s almost ten times the average response to posts on the Facebook page. As of this writing, 28 people clicked “like” on the blurb teasing an item running on the ABC News website.

The question posed above the blurb appears to have motivated readers more than the story itself.
