Is Facebook Permitting Pedophilia and Child Porn on Its Platform?
While Facebook facilitates facial recognition and vacuums up user data by the exabyte, it draws the line at being asked to clamp down on child porn being passed around on its servers.
In a shocking story putting the massive social network in a very seedy light, Gizmodo reported on March 7, “When BBC journalists discovered child porn on the network and sent those images to Facebook last week, the company reported the BBC to police in the UK for the distribution of illegal images.”
Investigative reporters from the BBC have a long history of tracking down the perverts that seem to pervade the Internet. After discovering that there was a significant amount of such images floating around Facebook, the network notified executives at the company, offering to sit down and show Facebook’s representatives the evidence of pedophilia collected by BBC reporters, which Facebook requested.
