The work of Facebook's illicit media team has led to many, many prosecutions. They intentionally keep quiet about it because the reaction to a headline like "500-member Child Porn Ring busted on Facebook" isn't "Geez, I'm glad Facebook is keeping us safe," it's "Wow, maybe we shouldn't let our teenagers on Facebook" -- a reaction that significantly hurts their bottom line, and tips off the ChiPo folks besides.

Fuck facebook. If they wanted more credibility it wouldn't be about "making the bottom line a more profitable place" As opposed to the bullshit "making the world a better place"
- torstenvl 5y agoI can tell that you're angry at Facebook. However, I don't really understand why. You're upset that they aren't taking more public credit? Perhaps this is a cultural difference, but I've never been exposed to a community where not taking credit violates social values. Help me understand?
