Facebook has activated a ‘Safety Check’ for Paris terrorist attacks
With multiple deadly attacks reported in Paris on Friday night, Facebook has activated a “Safety Check’’ for France’s capital city.
What’s that mean?
A Facebook “Safety Check’’ allows users outside the affected area to find and connect with friends who are possibly in danger — and tag them as safe. It also allows users in the area to tag themselves as safe — notifying their friends.
