Facebook caused public outrage after it blocked an iconic Vietnam War photograph from its Web site. On Friday last week, the company changed tack and decided it would not remove the image.
The photograph, taken by the Vietnamese American photographer Nick Ut in 1972 for Associated Press, shows a naked Vietnamese girl fleeing from a Napalm attack. It is regarded as the most iconic image to come out of the war and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
The Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, an active user of social media, on Friday morning posted a copy of the photograph in a challenge to Facebook to force a decision on the protracted, week-long dispute.

On Friday, Facebook issued a statement, saying: “An image of a naked child would normally be presumed to violate our Community Standards, and in some countries might even qualify as child pornography. In this case, we recognize the history and global importance of this image in documenting a particular moment in time.”

B: According to a study published in the “Applied Sciences” journal by Taiwanese ophthalmologist Horng Chi-ting, pineapple, papaya and fig supplements can improve symptoms. A: Pineapples are in season now, so you should munch on more of those to get rid of floaters. B: Not quite. Enzymes can be damaged by our stomach acid if we eat the fruit directly. The doctor says taking fruit enzyme capsules is better for absorption. A: Most importantly, we should reduce our use of personal electronics to prevent floaters from
Rice is essential to Japanese culture, tradition and politics. People take pride in the oval-shaped sticky Japonica grain, which is still a staple even though total consumption has fallen over the decades. But since last summer, prices have soared as supplies have fallen short of demand. The government has long paid farmers to cut back on rice acreage, and change to other crops to keep rice prices relatively high. To cope with shortfalls this year, the government has released rice reserves. But the grain has been slow to reach supermarket shelves. Anger over that was part of the reason the Agriculture Minister
