Facebook Takes On Cyberbullies As More Teens Leave Site

Facebook has rolled out a tool to address online harassment that some digital safety advocates are calling a beneficial, but belated, first step.

The social networking site with 1.2 billion users worldwide released a "bullying prevention hub." It's essentially an online resource center with suggestions for teens, parents and educators on how to address bullying -- both online and off -- as well as how to take action on Facebook. The site is also beginning to roll out more options for teens to report when posts are making them uncomfortable. The hub gives suggested conversation starters for victims, as well as for people who are accused of bullying and people who witness it. Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, says he's glad to see Facebook taking positive steps toward combating online harassment.
