Facebook says it is looking into reports that pornographic and violent images have been posted to its website.



The pictures are reported to have shown up in users' newsfeeds.



According to the technology site, ZDnet, the material is being spread via a linkspam virus which tempts members to click on a seemingly innocuous story link.



A spokeswoman for Facebook said: [We are] aware of these reports and we are investigating the issue.



Thousands of the site's members have posted comments about the breach on Twitter.



Discovered a new porn site, it's called Facebook, wrote one user.



Facebook should do something about the photoshopped porn images, it's offensive, wrote another.



Other users complained they had seen pictures of mutilated animals and people, in some cases adding that they had deactivated their accounts as a consequence.
