Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Facebook Safety Check. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150514160524/http://now.snopes.com:80/2015/05/13/nepal-facebook-safety-check/ to http://now.snopes.com/2015/05/13/nepal-facebook-safety-check/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Would it be appropriate to add a section about the community activated instance of the bowling green massacre after Kellyanne Conway's misstatement went around the globe? It is currently not listed as a time when the safety check feature was activated, and, although fictitious, it was activated as a result of people acting as though it were a real event. It may be worth mentioning, but clarification should be added in a section below with a short paragraph as to what actually happened. BecauseLogic (talk) 15:00, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It could be used in a subsection "weaknesses in the system" or other deployments. The point would be to talk about how Facebook uses data from many platforms, and could be easily skewed or manipulated through an attack, whether coordinated or not.

There appears to be many notes stating "First operational use in [insert country]" listed in the table. These appear to be at random, as there are many incidents where this is not included for the First Operational use in a particular country (for example, India, France, UK etc). Is this done purposefully? I'm happy to go through and add these in but can't seem to find any references, logic or pattern behind it! RazorKB (talk) 21:14, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
