Facebook rolls out key safety tools to help protect users in Afghanistan

Head of Facebook Security Policy Nathaniel Gleicher recently revealed a series of new tools and safety companies take refuge for users in Afghanistan, citing sudden and extreme changes in government and the risk of many people on the face. Among other things, the company will allow users in Afghanistan quickly locking their account with one click.

With a fast Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, many people in this country are now scrambling to remove content from their social media profiles that can endanger their lives, including posts, videos and photos. Afghanistan has reported the Taliban example stop them to find their devices, including social media, for this kind of content.

Human rights organization workers criticized social media companies in a statement to NBC News recently, saying that this business failed to help users in Afghanistan quickly and simply clean risky content, including providing support documents in regional documents.

In this middle, Facebook has revealed that it takes steps to help users in this country by launching new features for Afghan accounts. For example, there is a new one-click option that will lock the Facebook profile, preventing people not friends to see their pictures and post profiles.

In addition, Facebook temporarily suspended the ability to search and see a list of friends in Afghanistan, reducing the ability of the Taliban to use the platform to target people. On his Twitter utas, Gleicher revealed that Facebook has also formed a “special operating center” to handle new threats that might arise.
