Facebook U-turn on ‘sexist’ UCC page
The social media giant reversed previous decisions not to act against the ‘UCC Bird of Day’ page and removed it from their site yesterday. The company said it contained nudity or pornography, references to drug use, and could be viewed as harassment, and as a result, violated its “community standards”.
The decision came in the wake of an Irish Examiner report yesterday which first highlighted the cyberbullying concerns which were expressed by the college authorities and student leaders about this and other pages which have appeared on Facebook in recent months bearing the name UCC.
