A taste:
"The social networking site with 1.2 billion users worldwide released a "bullying prevention hub" this week. It's essentially an online resource center with suggestions for teens, parents and educators on how to address bullying — both online and off — and take action on Facebook.

The site is also beginning to roll out more options for teens to report when posts are making them uncomfortable."

It's nice to see that Facebook is stepping up their efforts to help address cyberbullying. I hope it pans out to be more than lip service and actually useful and effective.
