Facebook activates Safety Check on Yola Blast in Nigeria and Paris Attack
The usefulness of the feature was put to the test with the recently fresh terrorist attack in  Paris and an attack on Beirut. Facebook was criticized then, for activating the safety feature for the Paris attack on Friday, but not on Beirut attack, which was on the day before the Paris attack. Just recently, Facebook activated their Safety Check on Nigeria and thus looks to provide efficiency in determining the status of certain civilians in the affected area.
Earlier this year, the Safety Check feature of Facebook was used during the Nepal Earthquake and has proven its usefulness in that particular ordeal. Civilians on the Nigeria that criticized Facebook, despite being a bit disappointed at first, was just thankful that the feature came through and was able to help them confirm their current stature in Facebook, which eventually should help the people of Nigeria and their love ones to confirm each others safety condition.
This is the third attack on Yola this year.
