[kictanet] Facebook advisory on sharing of private residential addresses and images

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Meta's Oversight Board has given guidance on policies related to the
sharing of private residential addresses and images, and the contexts in
which that information may be published on Facebook and Instagram.

Among its recommendations, the Board advises that Meta:

- Remove the exception that allows the sharing of private residential
information when considered “publicly available.”
- Create a specific communications channel for victims of doxing, which
Meta respond to swiftly, and is available to people on and off of Meta’s
platforms.
- Consider violations of its Privacy Violations policy as “severe,”
immediately suspending user accounts where the sharing of private
residential information is clearly related to malicious action that creates
a risk of violence or harassment.
