Is Facebook failing to remove obscene content?
A 91热爆 Investigation reported dozens of images that appeared to breach Facebook's own rules on nudity and obscenity using the company's reporting system.
More than 80% stayed up because they "didn't breach community standards".
Facebook gave us the following statement:
鈥淲e have carefully reviewed the content referred to us and have now removed all items that were illegal or against our standards. This content is no longer on our platform. We take this matter extremely seriously and we continue to improve our reporting and take-down measures. Facebook has been recognised as one of the best platforms on the internet for child safety.
鈥淚t is against the law for anyone to distribute images of child exploitation. When the 91热爆 sent us such images we followed our industry鈥檚 standard practice and reported them to CEOP. We also reported the child exploitation images that had been shared on our own platform. This matter is now in the hands of the authorities.鈥
