Nipples, Terrorism, and Sexual Descriptions - Facebook's List of Banned Content

Posted by samzenpus on from the standards-and-practices dept.

Mark Wilson writes Facebook has updated its Community Standards document, outlining the type of content that is not permitted on the social network. When it's not forcing people to reveal their real names, blocking 'offensive' content, or encouraging users to vote, Facebook is often to be found removing content that has been reported for one reason or another. But what's acceptable, and what's not? A little while back, the site revealed a simplified version of its privacy policy, and now the Community Standards document has received the same treatment. Facebook has set out the types of pictures that are permissible, along with specifying guidelines for other content.

    So if facebook allowed nudity that is past the FCC standard, then it would go downhill fast.

    Heaven forbid we might find nudity on the internet.
