With the update of the Community Fathers, users were left with doubts about Mark Zuckerberg's new social network policy and reported on social networks. Many used Twitter to express their concern. The biggest uncertainty for people was whether there would be any kind of prohibition to talk openly about their sexuality or restrictions on gay-friendly groups. O dnetc contacted the company, but there was no response at the time of this publication.

A US spokesman for The Verge said that the new guidelines only cover explicit sexual content, which can be offensive to different types of people. The company clarified that everyone should feel free to talk about their sexual orientation, without fear of the content being excluded.

Although the new guidelines are intended for any type of publication including posts made in groups, pages or in messages sent by Messenger, it is possible that the rule will not work for everyone. This is because it is not always possible to monitor all posts on the social network. So if someone is uncomfortable with any content, it is important to report the problem to Facebook. The content must be reviewed and, if it does not follow the network policy, it can be removed after the analysis.

In the case of private messages via Messenger, if the user receives inappropriate sexual content, it is important to immediately report the problem to Facebook, which must take the necessary measures to prevent possible abuse.
