What to do in the event of a terrorist attack


Social notworking
site Facebook has been often criticised for being a bit slow on cracking down on terrorists and pedophiles using the site.

Now sex offenders and people suspected of terrorist activity can now be reported to Facebook in a major upgrade of user safety features. The site has released a safety centre, an internal site which gives advice to users about cyber bullying, with a designated area for teens on how to report offensive or inappropriate material, as well as information for parents.

The site also includes advice for teachers on how to create professional environments to interact with students and deal with cyber bullying. Users can now report profiles belonging to registered sex offenders, or those offering support for terrorist activity.

“If you find material that promotes terrorist behaviour or that raises funds for a terrorist organisation, Facebook strongly encourages you to report this here,” the site said.
