#Facebook anti-harassment

Facebook has recently announced updates to its bullying and harassment policies, aiming to protect users from mass harassment and intimidation. According to Facebook, they will now remove coordinated efforts of mass harassment that target individuals at heightened risk of offline harm. In addition, Facebook will also remove state-linked and adversarial networks of accounts, Pages, and Groups that work together to harass or silence people, such as a state-sponsored organization using closed private groups to coordinate mass posting on dissident profiles. The platform noted that public figures — whether they’re politicians, journalists, celebrities, or creators — use Facebook and Instagram to engage directly with their followers. Our bullying and harassment policy differentiates between public figures and private individuals to enable freedom of expression and legitimate public discourse around those in the public eye," Facebook said in a blog post. Facebook is launching a new game, Your Profile, Your Home where users can build their own virtual home on Facebook and learn how to personalize their account based on their preferences. Through the game users can learn more about the settings of Facebook such as Privacy settings, Advertiser preferences, and security settings. Through Your Profile, Your Home, Facebook hopes that users will have an easy way to find out just how safe and secure their profiles are.
