Facebook has categorically ruled against posting depictions of graphic violence and gore to your Facebook wall in the past, but they announced a reversal today. The new policy is under the heading “Graphic Content” in the Community Standards page, and it reads as follows:
Rape is a serious problem in India, with police harassment of victims and courts unsympathetic to rape victims. It’s so bad that women are starting to use single sex taxis and parks to avoid men in public. A recent case where 4 men brutally gang raped a woman on a public bus in broad daylight has become a call to arms for Indian feminists. The case involved a girl being beaten with an iron rod, then penetrated with it so savagely that her intestines had to be surgically removed before she died in the hospital from her wounds two weeks later. A new high profile gang rape case starts Monday, against 4 men who brutally raped a photojournalist.
