Not long after Facebook decided it was going to allow people to continue posting a violent video of a woman’s beheading, the network has changed its mind again, citing new standards. In a statement Tuesday, Facebook said it would “take a more holistic look at the context surrounding a violent image or video,” and “consider whether the person posting the content is sharing it responsibly, such as accompanying the video or image with a warning and sharing it with an age-appropriate audience.” Facebook decided this particular video “improperly and irresponsibly glorifies violence,” so it removed the clip.
