Facebook unveiled Safety Page

Safety issues are no longer ignored by Facebook as this social network giant has launched a page called Facebook Safety.

At the time of my writing, Facebook Safety has grown to more than 11,000 fans and another great news is that the articles posted on the Facebook Safety’s Wall are with full focus or direction and the original videos or articles that it linked to are good contents.

In fact, the creation of Facebook Safety page is with purpose. According to Joe Sullivan, Facebook’s Chief Security Officer, “The Safety Page will highlight new initiatives to keep people on Facebook safe, valuable educational materials from Internet safety experts including the members of our Safety Advisory Board, and relevant news coverage.” Wrote in Facebook’s official blog.

In contrast to Facebook Security page, which has 2.2 million of fans; Facebook users should not think of Facebook Safety as a supplementary resource page to Facebook Security, instead the dynamic content posted on Facebook Safety are to complement the resources in the expanded Safety Center that Facebook introduced in April this year.

Moreover, Facebook users should value the availability of Facebook Safety that gives them other options – like links to the outside blog posts, videos, safety research reports, safety know-how via videos, and a resource page pertaining to all the well-known safety experts.
