NEW YORK: Facebook has issued new guidelines on what types of content is allowed on the site. And the reasons it bans some material. The updated rules cover everything from nudity to bullying and what the social networking site describes as support for ‘terrorism’.
More than 1.4 billion people around the world use Facebook every month. And the content they post varies just as much as the places they are posting it from.
Facebook users span different countries, cultures and laws. And the company has always had a challenging task of allowing the freedom to post openly, while censoring content it considers offensive or dangerous.
But how effectively can Facebook enforce its rules?
And do users really want more restrictions on what they post?
