[Get Involved Tuesdays] Facebook & Child Trafficking

Overall, I love Facebook, I really do. However, there are issues I have with it. For instance, the fact that Netizens managed to find thousands of child pornography in a quick sweep of FB. Change.Org is offering a petition to protest against FB's lack of policy regarding these images and cooperation with authorities to prosecute perpetrators. Some key points in Change.Org article:

"Child pornography on Facebook primarily manifests through closed groups created by pedophiles to share photos and videos of abused children and through profiles of abused children, created by their pimps or abusers. Often, specific sex acts can be “ordered” on Facebook, and can include extreme violence and heinous brutality.

Despite the severity and prevalence of child pornography and child sex trafficking on Facebook, the company has no strategy to prevent child pornography or cooperate with law enforcement to report illegal images. It's time Facebook took child pornography and child sex trafficking on their site seriously, and made it their responsibility to stop facilitating these crimes."
