Facebook 'failed to remove sexualised images of children'
Facebook has been criticised for its handling of reports about sexualised images of children on its platform. When provided with examples of the images, Facebook reported the BBC journalists involved to the police and cancelled plans for an interview. Images of under-16s in highly sexualised poses, with obscene comments posted beside them. "The fact that Facebook sent images that had been sent to them, that appear on their site, for their response about how Facebook deals with inappropriate imagesthe fact that they sent those on to the police seemed to me to be extraordinary," he said. "One can only assume that the Facebook executives were unwilling or certainly reluctant to engage in an interview or a debate about why these images are available on the Facebook site."
