Social media site enhances offensive behaviour reports


Facebook users are now able to give more specific abuse reports when something offensive is uploaded to the website, according to the official blog.
Users of the social media website Facebook have been encouraged to give more specific details of any unwanted contact taking place with the development of its report tool.
Jessica Ghastin, a specialist on the social networking site's user operations team, wrote on the company's official blog that it is now possible to classify exactly what sort of abuse the user is encountering.
As well as this, she pointed out that the report tool now asks for the specific timeframe of a video or section of text that is causing offence, which makes dealing with the issue easier.
"These additional details are an important part of the process. We'll continue to work to improve your experience and give you the proper tools to report bad content and behaviour," explained Ms Ghastin.
This week, the developer of Facebook application Causes told users that social media allows everyone to do their bit for charity, as people can easily raise awareness of an issue, even if they cannot make a donation.
