Facebook creates "Culture of Respect"

At the White House Conference for Bullying Prevention on Thursday, Facebook announced it's newest set of tools to protect users from online bullying.

The new content includes more advanced tools for "reporting offensive or bullying content," and an improved safety center. Users have the choice to include trusted sources if he or she reports offensive subject matter.

Do you think this will help reduce cyber-bullying?

Genius move on Facebook's part to get involved with a good cause, a worthy sponsor while negating questions about their ongoing privacy issues.

I personally have never reported any Facebook content, and I doubt most other people have either. Certainly can't hurt to have better tools, though.
