Facebook, Time Warner Partnering To Combat Bullying

The AP (7/13, Liedtke) reports that social networking site Facebook and Time Warner are partnering "to use their clout to raise awareness about bullying and encourage more people to report the abuses when they see them. Facebook's participation reflects a growing recognition that its online social network consisting of more than 750 million people has become an outlet for harassment as well as friendship." The campaign "will be waged on the Internet, on TV and radio and several major US magazines. It's being billed as 'Stop Bullying: Speak Up,' a theme that Time Warner's Cartoon Network has been trumpeting since last year."
