Oneupweb Reviews: Facebook Safety Center

Welcome to the Safety Center. Facebook has released its new Safety Center in hopes to educate users on internet and Facebook safety.

Most of us have seen or heard the term cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones.

With reported cases of employees being fired, relationships shattered, and even suicides stemming from actions taking place on social networks, it’s no wonder that Facebook has created a Safety Center. People need to be educated on the many dangers of having personal information online.

Here is an excerpt from the Safety Center on how to respond to abusers the right way:

“If you are receiving posts and Chat messages you don’t like, you should consider removing the sender from your friends list. Please note that you should also contact the authorities if you ever feel threatened by something you see on the site. Facebook is a founding member of the StopCyberbullying Coalition affiliated with stopcyberbullying.org.”
