Facebook Has Been Criticised for Having Profiles of Paedophils
Facebook has been criticised for its handling of reports about sexualised images of children on its platform. This is being reported by BBC.
The chairman of the Commons media committee, Damian Collins, told that he had "grave doubts" about the effectiveness of its content moderation systems. Mr Collins' comments come after the BBC reported dozens of photos to Facebook, but more than 80% were not removed.
They included images from groups where men were discussing swapping what appeared to be child abuse material. According to subsequently issued a statement, it is against the law for anyone to distribute images of child exploitation.
Facebook's rules forbid convicted sex offenders from having accounts. But the BBC found five convicted paedophiles with profiles, and reported them to Facebook via its own system. None of them were taken down.
In the statement, that was provided by Facebook, stated that the content is carefully reviewed and nowall items that were illegal or against our standards have been removed removed.
