Facebook has taken back many rape joke pages from its social network.
The group pages, which included "You know she's playing hard to get when you're chasing her down an alleyway" had been criticised by victim support groups.
The network said: "There is no room on Facebook for content that is hateful, threatening, or incites violence."
However, controversial postings may remain if administrators add a tag stating they are humorous or satire.
Facebook has been taken action against rape joke pages from its social network, because the pages broke its terms conditions.
"We take reports of questionable and offensive content very seriously,".
"However, we also want Facebook to be a place where people can openly discuss issues and express their views, while respecting the rights and feelings of others.
"Groups or pages that express an opinion on a state, institution, or set of beliefs - even if that opinion is outrageous or offensive to some - do not by themselves violate our policies.
"These online debates are a reflection of those happening offline, where conversations happen freely."
