Social media site 'supports online etiquette'


Cyber-bullies must not be tolerated and people should report them when they encounter any abuse, says Facebook.
Facebook has called for users of the social media website to be civil to each other when they interact online.
Michelle Robinson Boykins, director of communications and marketing at the National Crime Prevention Council, wrote on the official Facebook blog that bullying on social networking sites can happen to people of all ages.
She pointed out that people need to report abuse when it happens, because it ruins the fun of interacting online.
Ms Robinson highlighted the report function on Facebook as a way of ensuring that people do not feel bullied by content being shared on social media.
"This is just one step in discouraging people from behaving poorly online and potentially hurting other people. It's up to you to address cyber-bullying if it occurs to you or people around you," she added.
Facebook recently announced that it will be launching a new feature on its share tool, in which users can see how many people have looked at shared content.
