Article here. Excerpt:

'Under mounting pressure from activists and advertisers, Facebook is ramping up efforts to stamp out hate speech, particularly depictions of violence against women.
...
In Levine's post, Facebook promised to:

-- Update guidelines that its Community Standards team uses to identify hate speech, with help from legal experts and women's groups

-- Update training for team members who police hate speech

-- Increase accountability for Facebook users whose pages don't legally qualify as hate speech but who post content that is "cruel or insensitive"

-- Implement a policy that requires users who create pages with questionable content to publicly attach their personal account to them

-- Encourage groups already working on cyber-hate issues to include the women's coalition.'
