In response to the “confusion” of many users Facebook regarding what is permissible in the social network, the company decided to change the way explains its rules to make them look lighter.

The new wording of the rules, which we can already see the English version of the site but that has not been transposed to the Portuguese version, or clarify issues that raised doubts among users, since its definition of bullying the forms of nudity which allows.

“We we sent a message saying ‘we will not take the content does not violate denounced because our standards,’ and they responded saying that were confused, “said the BBC’s director of content policy of the Facebook , Monika Bicket.

Bicket stressed that the rules have not changed, but the wording is now more explicit. For example, “now clarify that not only do not allow terrorist organizations or their members belong to the Facebook community, also do not allow support for terrorist groups, their actions or their leaders, something that before was not detailed.”

The section of the rules referred to nudity policy that allows the social network is now more detailed. For example, Facebook does not allow images whose “main focus is completely exposed buttocks” or “female breasts pictures including the nipple” . And these prohibitions are extended to works produced digitally, and textual descriptions of sexual acts with “vivid detail.”
