Facebook Launches User Safety Page

If Facebook were a country, its population of 500 million would make it one of the world’s giants – in the real world, only China and India have bigger populations. Of course, part of the job of any country is to keep its citizens safe.

Naturally, Facebook doesn’t aspire to the status of a nation state. All its users are citizens of other countries with their own governments, police forces and armies. Yet given Facebook’s immense scale, it’s not surprising the social networking site feels it shares responsibility for the safety of its users.
