Re: [Wikimedia-l] Facebook updates "community standards" for a "diverse global community"

I agree that mass removal of photos depicting full-nudity statues (and in
some cases erotic scenes, including intercourse[1]) or paintings of
undisputed historical significance would be more harmful than useful and
our policy should be inclusive of such material.

Given the different (:educational) context of Commons from that of
Facebook's, I think adopting their policy 'as is' would not best serve our
community. It can, however, serve as an inspirational starting point that
we can build upon and adjust, to suit Commons' purpose and mission.

I liked Facebooks' careful definition of what constitutes nudity.
Though their new policy would allow for diagrams of genitals for
medical education, it would be tough for Commons to adopt similar
anti-nudity laws without deleting a lot of historical and culturally
relevant photographs, plus all the 19th century oil paintings where
every other famous work seems to have a bare-chested woman in it. Oh
and of course, all those naughty shots of Roman antiquities with their
depictions of satyrs and gymnasts with their prominent buttocks and
junk hanging out.

It's a bit sad that a policy like this would not stop all those
damn-awful amateur shots of girls in bikinis on a beach holiday being
uploaded every year.

Yeah, let's park this idea.

How so? Commons has a very different purpose to Facebook.

[Wikimedia-l] Facebook updates "community standards" for a "diverse global community"

[Toby Dollmann]

Facebook has updated its "community standards" for its 1.4 billion
users. Much of it is relevant for WM Commons.

"It's a challenge to maintain one set of standards that meets the
needs of a diverse global community," said Monika Bickert, Facebook's
head of global policy management, and Chris Sonderby, Facebook's
deputy general counsel, in a blog post.

"We have a set of Community Standards that are designed to help people
understand what is acceptable to share on Facebook," Facebook said.
"These standards are designed to create an environment where people
feel motivated and empowered to treat each other with empathy and
respect."

In addition to nudity and hate speech, Facebook gave extra emphasis to
what constitutes self-injury, dangerous organizations, bullying and
harassment, criminal activity, sexual violence and exploitation,
violence and graphic content.
