Facebook has introduced a Safety Check after coming under fire for a perceived Western bias when it activated Safety Check after the Paris attacks and ignored Middle East, Africa, and others.
American billionaire internet entrepreneur, Mark Zuckerberg who is best known as the founder of social networking website, Facebook, has taken to his Facebook page to announce that the social media site has activated the safety check following the bomb blast in Yola, Adamawa state yesterday.
Few days ago, Facebook came under fire for a perceived Western bias when it activated Safety Check after the Paris attacks, with critics noting that terrorist attacks in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia hadn't previously warranted its deployment.
The safety check enables Facebook users announce that they are still alive after a mishap in any troubled zone.
