Last month, The BBC reported that Facebook wasn’t quick enough to remove child pon images. The headline was “Facebook failed to remove sexualised images of children.” According to the reporter, more than 80% of the sexualized images of children were not removed. On its welcome page, however, Facebook says it does remove obscene material. "Nudity or other sexually suggestive content," it states, is not allowed on the platform.
Recently, The Times wrote about the issue as well. An investigation by The Times revealed that offensive content was not considered to breach Facebook's 'community standards' by moderators despite the fact much of it could be illegal under British law.
