FACEBOOK users around the world have paid tribute to the victims of the Paris massacre by changing their profile pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The social networking site has introduced a French flag filter to mourn the 129 people killed in the tragedy on Friday night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Users can superimpose red, white and blue stripes on their photo by clicking the "customise your profile picture" option.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They can choose whether they want the touching filter to expire after a day, a week or a month – or last forever.</div>

Mark Zuckerberg's site has also brought back a genius feature to let users in Paris tell friends and family they are safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Safety Check – which was first introduced after the Nepal earthquake in April – also allows users to see who else in their area is accounted for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking about the feature, Zuckerberg previously said: "Over the last few years there have been many disasters and crises where people have turned to the Internet for help. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Each time, we see people use Facebook to check on their loved ones and see if they're safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Connecting with people is always valuable, but these are the moments when it matters most.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Safety Check is our way of helping our community during natural disasters and gives you an easy and simple way to say you’re safe and check on all your friends and family in one place."</div>

In the devastating aftermath of the attacks, several hashtags – including #PrayForParis – have been trending on social media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And many users have shared a poignant painting of the peace sign incorporating the Eiffel Tower, France's most famous landmark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The image, originally posted by French artist Jean Jullien, has racked up more than 53,000 retweets and 144,000 Instagram likes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hashtag #PorteOuverte – meaning 'open door' – was used by kind-hearted Parisians to offer victims a place to hide or stay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Peace for Paris <a href="https://t.co/ryf6XB2d80">pic.twitter.com/ryf6XB2d80</a></p>— jean jullien (@jean_jullien) <a href="https://twitter.com/jean_jullien/status/665305363500011521">November 13, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bookmaker Paddy Power apologised after a prescheduled tweet about a French racehorse sparked fury on social media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
West Wing actor Rob Lowe and former X Factor winner Sam Bailey were slated for calling for the closure of borders after the attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
