Facebook to launch new tools to stop harassment!
Facebook, the biggest and the most used social media
platform has announced the launch of special tools to prevent Facebook harassment
on its portal as well as the messaging app, i.e. Messenger. The tools have been
developed keeping in mind the feedback from both the users as well as
organizations using this social media platform for their personal or business
use. According to the feedback, there has been observed a significant increase
in the level of harassment in past few months.
Firstly, Facebook is focusing on increasing the security
feature in order to stop the people or the users creating the fake accounts (even
if they are not harming or harassing anyone). This will be done by monitoring
the IP addresses being used to create the new Facebook accounts. These advanced
security feature will also take care of the people whom you have blocked in the
past for harassment and prevent them adding you again by creating a new
account.
In addition, Facebook is also adding a new feature to let
you ignore the sender in the messaging app. Don’t worry, the sender will not
get any kind of notification, when you ignore to mute him/her. This option will
also help you out in case you want to keep yourself aware of whatever is
happening in the mind of the harasser (in order to avoid any danger in the
future). All you would need to do is mark the conversation as “Ignore”. This
will automatically disable the notifications and move the entire conversation
to the Filtered Message, where you can read every new message (along with the
older ones, of course) without letting the harasser know that his/her messages
are actively being read.
As of now, this all new security feature will be available
for one on one conversation only. However, Facebook will definitely work on
extending the same for groups. At present also, Facebook is strictly against
such harassments and it has a number of rules to prevent bullying and
harassment. But, even if it removes the contents or disable the accounts, there
are ways around the rules with which users were harassing the other users.
By launching these new features, the main aim of the
Facebook is to make this platform safe for everyone. You will be able to use
these new security tools soon in your Facebook accounts, which is now a strong
medium to stay connected to your friends and family.
