Over the weekend, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg vowed that the social media platform’s Safety Check tool will be implemented during human-created emergencies. CNET said his announcement followed after the tool gained criticism for not switching the feature on after violent attacks that did not occur in Paris.
Facebook activated the Safety Check tool following the horrifying attacks in Paris, which led to the deaths of over a hundred people, PCMag said. However, Facebook got criticized for not activating the tool when suicide bombs exploded in Beirut, Lebanon, which occurred the day before.
In a Facebook post, Zuckerberg said, "Many people have rightfully asked why we turned on Safety Check for Paris but not for bombings in Beirut and other places. Until [Friday], our policy was only to activate Safety Check for natural disasters. We just changed this and now plan to activate Safety Check for more human disasters going forward as well."
