Facebook for years has had "community standards" for what people can post. The company considers changes to its content policy every two weeks at a meeting called the "Content Standards Forum," led by Bickert. Facebook is planning a series of public forums in May and June in different countries to get more feedback on its rules, said Mary deBree, Facebook's head of content policy. "The new community standards do not incorporate separate procedures under which governments can demand the removal of content that violates local law. The community standards also do not address false information - Facebook does not prohibit it but it does try to reduce its distribution - or other contentious issues such as use of personal data.
