Facebook confusion over fake cancer babies U-turn
The BBC reported on Tuesday the case of a child from Cambridgeshire whose photos had been used alongside a fake plea for help. Facebook has removed the post featuring Jasper Allen's pictures, but other similar fake cancer posts featuring other children remain live. Facebook first disabled the account on 10 January after Mrs Allen had sent several messages to its complaints team, only for it to be made live again the next day. Cybersecurity expert Prof Alan Woodward said Facebook did not appear to have scrutinised the case closely enough despite the publicity it had generated. "It's difficult not to conclude Facebook is doing the bare minimum here."
