BBC ran an investigation into child pornography rings on Facebook. In the course of their investigation, they would hit the ‘report’ button on 100 pages and posts that violated Facebook policies.
Facebook’s responses were staggering.
This is bad: First off, Facebook removed only 18 of the 100 reported materials, which included:
….
BBC didn’t leave it there. The investigators contacted Facebook to ask why the images weren’t removed. So Facebook asked them to send along the reported materials. BBC did so.
Facebook’s response was to call the police on the reporters, the people who were merely highlighting that Facebook had refused to remove these materials!
….
BBC’s conclusion is golden: “If the company’s moderation policy is shown to be ineffective for something as comparatively simple as child porn, Facebook’s role in navigating the complex world of fake news looks increasingly questionable.”

Quelle surprise! Facebook is uber-liberal. Probably has no problem with child pornography. I know from personal experience that if you are conservative and report a threat made on Facebook, you will be ignored. You must be of the same political persuasion as Facebook management or a member of a protected group or class for any threats made against you to be taken seriously.
I used Facebook during the presidential campaign, but now you couldn’t pay me to subscribe.
