I've been saying this for a while. People think these huge moderated platforms are somehow better than other parts of the internet but they're really not. Lots of pedophiles and abusers seem to just use Facebook and a decent number get away with it.

Yup, it's super depressing but you don't at all need to go into the "dark web" to do any of the bad thinks and you still have good chances to get away with it. I mean one time a few years ago I did use youporn (private browsing, no account) and ran into obvious child pornography :-(. (I'm really happy that it became visible what's going on before any action showed but dam that where little kids on a supposedly serious porn website) And while there maybe not the best example you can find endless ~studies~ stories (edit: auto correct messup) about criminals using Facebook and similar as a platform to connect to, pressure and blackmail children.
