CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded to the questions and concerns in a post on his Facebook page.
You are right that there are many other important conflicts in the world, Zuckerberg wrote.
Safety Check feature of Facebook comes under fire for its ‘double standards’
Until yesterday, our policy was only to activate Safety Check for natural disasters.
Safety Check generally asks Facebook users if they are safe based on their location.
Users can choose from three options, including Safe, Unsafe, or Not in the area.
The information is generally displayed on the users profile but can also be shown using the Nearby Friends feature.
A Facebook executive added to Zuckerbergs response in a post on the Facebook Safety page.
Schultz said the company was still in the process of learning the relatively new feature.
We will learn a lot from feedback on this launch.
Were going to continue working to make [Safety Check] better and more useful, he wrote.
We want this tool to be available whenever and wherever it can help.
However many Facebook users were not convinced by the explanation given by it.
