Facebook: The Arbiter of Modern Morality? Let's Hope Not | Facebook employs "Porn Cops," who roam the digital corridors of the social networking site and make sure no one's posting pictures with too many pink pixels and the like. This team's work is being profiled over at Newsweek, but it raises a scary thought: Is Facebook a new arbiter of social morality? Facebook wants to avoid slipping down the same porn slope that MySpace lost its footing on, which is why it employs this team of 150 people to keep the site clean. Check out Newsweek's description of the work of team-member Simon Axten: Next up: a young woman in panties only, covering her breasts with her hands.
"That's pretty close," Axten says, pondering the image. There's nothing arbitrary about his judgments: at Facebook, they have developed semiformal policies like the Fully Exposed Butt Rule, the Crack Rule and the Nipple Rule. In this photo there's no visible areola, he decides, so it stays. Sounds relatively inoffensive doesn't it. [via Newsweek] Updates.
