Facebook activates check

amsterdam - Facebook has activated the 'safety check'. People in Brussels can thus let their contacts know that they are safe. Thus the attack for some near: 'How many people you do not know in Brussels.'

The option is enabled by major disasters. In Paris this happened first, then followed by Nigeria and Turkey.

It took too long for some before the function was activated. Facebook may want to make sure that no more attacks would follow, as there is speculation. In that case, people as 'safe' are considered, but they would later be endangered.

Die safetycheck op Facebook is enorm confronterend. Hoeveel mensen je kent die in Bxl zijn.
