Facebook Set To Ban Contents That Sexually Harasses Public Figures

Social media giant, Facebook has announced that it would start removing “severe $eCualizing content” targeting public figures.

Antigone Davis, global head of safety at Facebook, who made this known in a blog post on Wednesday, said the new development was part of a new update to its bullying and harassment policies.

According to Davis,

“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 $eCualizing public figures, including celebrities, politicians, and content creators.

“The new policy bans $eCualized photoshops and drawings and any degrading content “in the process of bodily functions.”

“We would also remove “unwanted $eCualized commentary” and repetitive attacks harassing an individual $eCually.

“Public figures, either politicians, journalists, celebrities or content creators use Facebook and Instagram to engage directly with their followers.

“We made these changes because attacks like these can we@p0nize a public figure’s appearance, which is unnecessary and often not related to the work these public figures represent,”
