Facebook Changes Policy on 'Cruel or Insensitive Content'

Uproar over graphic images of violence against women posted on Facebook has prompted the social network to change its policies on controversial material, including making creators of “cruel or insensitive content” more accountable. Facebook Inc. unveiled the policy changes in reaction to an ad boycott campaign launched this week by Women, Action & the Media to protest graphic images and messages against women posted on the social network.
