Facebook is cutting down on censorship of graphic posts and from then on, nudity and violence will be accepted as long as they are deemed “newsworthy and significant.”

Facebook’s PR officials said in a blog post, “In the weeks ahead, we’re going to begin allowing more items that people find newsworthy, significant or important to the public interest — even if they might otherwise violate our standards.”

This move follows after the “napalm girl” controversy whereby Facebook users complained about being prevented from sharing the world-famous photograph. The photo in question shows a naked 9-year-old girl fleeing a napalm attack during the Vietnamese war.

It is said to have violated Facebook’s ban on images of naked children, however Facebook users have argued that the message behind the photo is far more important.

Facebook also came under attack last week for removing a breast cancer awareness video as it was deemed graphic, citing “inappropriate content.”

We’re all for the major change, however parents would have a far more difficult job in keeping their kids safe on social media.
