Honestly surprised at how complex the rules are. There's rationale, for example for why “Irish women are dumb" is not OK, but “Irish teenagers are dumb” is OK.


I'm actually not sure how that follows, because it says this right below it:

> There are also sub-categories that enjoy extra

> protection. These are listed in the same chapter:

> Age – youth, senior citizens, teenagers


Yes, that's confusing, but I didn't make up the example...it's in there: http://68.media.tumblr.com/c7058d6bf2e9bee1facb23098dda4b78/...


Hm, maybe someone mixed up their slide? I would imagine with all the online bullying issues facebook has that protecting teens would be a high priority.


There's a whole different section of rules for bullying. For example, picture of someone urinating in their pants == OK, unless there is a caption calling it out in a derogatory fashion. Unless the person is a public figure (more rules to define this), then the derogatory caption == OK.
