As if you didn't need another reason to use an ad blocker.
“Just stop using meta properties then”. Sure but some of us have wives, friends, etc

> The eternal question of tech platforms - should we be responsible for what users post? I would never say a platform has to be responsible for what a user posts, and to be clear, I mean either a user of the platform, or a user of the platform's ad tooling, or anything else. Anything that arrives via an upload button of some sort. However: If you as a platform then distribute what has been posted, yes, you are respon…
Yeah sure, I think we basically agree I'm just bemoaning the fact FB can't even pretend they care when they're so busy banning people for nothing
36 million CSAM media removed in 2025? Why aren't millions of people in jail? Wtf?
Bots, good luck finding the people responsible for them. Also how much of the child exploitation material was created by the children themselves? Teenagers who send each other nude photos are creating child exploitation material but you hardly want to put them jail for that.
Well rational thinking people wouldn't. A great many using CSAM as a wedge to de-anonymize the Internet or institute regressive "profanity" laws are often neither.

Does their definition of CSAM exclude material that's not unlawful in the US? People can be (let's say) tactical about its inclusion from case to case. But I can't say if it's the case here, nor how much it explains the 36 million not explained by other better replies.
If you are downvoting this please explain why, it’s important that we come to a shared understanding how these things are ever okay for corporations and not individuals…

> But they couldn't possibly do it at that the scale they're operating at. They couldn't hire enough people in the countries they operate, or know the language, or trust that who they do hire aren't corrupt or working against their interest. And they can't manually approve every ad, or make sure targeting isn't illegal or otherwise harmful. you say sarcasm, but i think this is literally true. this isn't a defense of…
Facebook absolutely could remain a going concern while dealing with all of these problems, the problem is that they would be spending money to lose money. One of the more perverse aspects of risk prevention is that riskier customers are often way more lucrative. It's kind of inherent to the notion that markets price risk into transactions. The thing is, illegal behavior is also just a particular kind of risk: if some…
Make that the policy, and I'd bet my life savings that Facebook, miraculously, will figure out how to detect this shit with bulletproof accuracy.
I'm wondering what people expect these companies to do? Human moderators? Sure, but Meta products have approximately half the worlds population using them. At this scale it's pretty mind bogglingly difficult to moderate down everything. The ads/posts served per second is an astronomical number. This truly is a case where AI is the solution. There's no way to automate this at scale with humans. As AI gets better hopef…
How is this our problem? We make the rules, the obey them. If they can't they ought to be shut down. If they want to argue that at their scale they can't abide by the rules society lays down for them we can cut them down to something human sized.
If any of us did that clearly we’d be in jail for several years and put on the sex offenders register but when Meta appear to be hugely responsible for increases in teen suicide or crimes like these we get nothing. If corporations want the rights of individuals they equally should shoulder our shared societal responsibilities as well. I honestly don’t get how they can just pretend they aren’t responsible somehow beca…

No, not at all.
"removing over 36 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content last year"
Not CSAM.
