Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB): Facebook debuted a “bullying prevention hub” on Wednesday, a step that cyberbullying experts call a beneficial if belated first step. The hub is essentially an online resource center that provides suggestions for teens and adults on how to address and resolve issues of bullying, both online and in person. The site is also making it easier for teens to report when posts are making them uncomfortable. The new resources come after a recent report suggested that teens were migrating away from Facebook; this fall, 23 percent of teens thought Facebook was “the most important social network,” down from 43 percent last fall.
