Facebook will allow more content on its platform that it would have earlier removed because it violated its standards, a senior company executive said, following the controversy over the removal of an iconic Vietnam War photo. His comments come after a dispute in September between the company and Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg after Facebook deleted the photo of a naked girl fleeing a napalm attack, called The Terror of War. "We have made a number of policy changes after The Terror of War photo. Facebook re-instated the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph after Solberg and others accused Facebook of censorship and of editing history by erasing the image from their accounts under its restrictions on nudity. Facebook backed down, ruling that the historical importance of the photo outweighed the company's nudity rules.
