One of the giant social media networks, Facebook, on Wednesday, has announced that the platform would start removing the content that attacks particularly targeting public figures.
The technology giant network said the platform would remove any profiles, pages, groups, or events dedicated to s-xualizing public figures.
The Facebook Global Head, Antigone Davis, disclosed this in a post on a blog, noted that the decision of the platform is part of its new update to stop bullying and harassment.
He wrote, “The policy changes also include coordinated harassment attacks against users.
“As part of this new policy update, we would remove any profiles, pages, groups, or events dedicated to s-xualizing public figures, including celebrities, politicians, and content creators.
“The new policy bans s-xualized photoshops and drawings and any degrading content “in the process of bodily functions.”
“We would also remove “unwanted s-xualized commentary” and repetitive attacks harassing an individual sexually.
“Public figures, either politicians, journalists, celebrities or content creators use Facebook and Instagram to engage directly with their followers.
“We made these changes because of attacks like these can weaponize a public figure’s appearance, which is unnecessary and often not related to the work these public figures represent.”
