Instagram and Facebook have taken up the campaign against social media harassment in earnest.
They will ban the use of emojis with sexual overtones. Which emoticons in the correspondence are at risk – find out further in the material!
Social networks are going to fight sexual harassment and the promotion of sexual services.
The innovations are also written in the “Community Standards” of Facebook:
Content contains the above offer or request using the following sexually suggestive elements: emoticons or combinations thereof that have a sexual meaning due to context or socially accepted interpretation.
Posts with such content will be deleted automatically. Under the new rules, you can now get a warning for using a “vulgar” emoticon.
Moreover, accounts on which such content is seen may be restricted or even deleted without the possibility of further recovery.
At the same time, the creators of the social network made a kind of “indulgence” for their users: “a hand-drawn image of a sexual act that does not contain an offer or request of a sexual nature” will not be considered a violation.
