Facebook reverses course on "Napalm Girl" photo


Facebook announced Friday a reversal of the decision to remove from its platform a famous 1972 photograph of a young Vietnamese girl running from a napalm attack. Taken by Nick Ut, "The Napalm Girl" shows 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc running naked after being hit by a napalm bomb. Because nudity is against Facebook rules, the social media site banned several users for posting it on their accounts. "Facebook is making a serious mistake in censoring pictures like this," Prime Minister Erna Solberg wrote Friday on her Facebook account. "This is an image that has contributed to universal history, the image of a terrified girl fleeing from war."
