Facebook Publishes 27-Pages of Dos and Don’ts
If you’ve ever wondered what Facebook would like you not to do on its service, you’re in luck, states an AP report, now that “the social network is publishing detailed guidelines to what does and doesn’t belong on its service — 27 pages worth of them, in fact.
“So please don’t make credible violent threats or revel in sexual violence; promote terrorism or the poaching of endangered species; attempt to buy marijuana, sell firearms, or list prescription drug prices for sale; post instructions for self-injury; depict minors in a sexual context; or commit multiple homicides at different times or locations.
“Facebook already banned most of these actions on its previous “community standards” page, which sketched out the company’s standards in broad strokes. But on Tuesday it will spell out the sometimes gory details.
“The updated community standards will mirror the rules its 7,600 moderators use to review questionable posts, then decide if they should be pulled off Facebook. And sometimes whether to call in the authorities.”
