FB removes pornographic content, but it doesn't always do so proactively.
If a user shares pornographic content, it may be visible on the site for a short period of time before the content is removed by Facebook.
The goal of the initiative Facebook was attempting to implement was to prevent any revenge-porn photos from being shared on the website at all. Even for a brief period of time.
From a user's standpoint, one hour of pornographic content available is disturbing but not catastrophic. However, one hour of images of pornographic content of themselves being shown to their friends and family is catastrophic.

More like, if someone sends you a message that they've got compromising photos of you and will release them unless you pay $XX,XXX then you would use the service. In the analogy, it'd be more like having the police live at your house after having a credible threat made against your life. Which is a thing that happens
