Face Book is Hosting Secret Pedophile Groups - knowingly!!

02/13/2016 2:03 AM

A recent investigation of such people on Facebook by the BBC, has proved beyond all doubt that FB either supports such groups or does not care.

The BBC "outed" several people and posts using the report button and basically FB did nothing.

Here is the link to the BBC report:-

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35521068#"

Furthermore, some of the comments will be more than shocking if you are a family person like:-

In one secret group called "cute teen schoolies", we found a picture of a girl in a vest, aged 10 or 11, accompanied by the words "yum yum". Facebook responded that it did not breach "community standards" and the image stayed up.

There are more similar "outings" that FB did not consider to below community standards.

Due to this, I have left FB completely and will never join them again. There are better ways to stay with my friends, I am a Skype user for example, as probably many here are also.....

Then they aren't secret, are they?

They were never very famous for privacy, anyway.

Sadly, possibly due to earlier complaints, ones exactly as you mentioned, Facebook have "beefed-up" the security and the "Pedos" felt safe(r).

I bet some are shitting the bed now!!!!

So you are so sure of yourself you post anonymously!! Coward!!!

It may not be an engineering problem, but it is humanity problem, and important to know, especially for anyone with children......

Also, we have so much crap here some days with stupid dumb questions, a REAL problem is almost a relief!!

I also feel that FB needs a sharp lesson, and if their income loses a few million, who the "F" cares?

If you had fully read (and of course understood) the link I posted AND you have children in your family, you would never have posted as you did!!

Facebook and others would soon toe the line if governments made the penalties for not doing so expensive enough to matter.

Unfortunately governments are not really committed, sure, plenty of lip service, but that's about all they do.

As for "Dianne not her real name" in that story, it's time that she learned that anything you put out there is out there for the wider public to see. If she hadn't posted her daughter's pics they would not have been used so offensively.

Folks who use facebook etc. take the risk every time they put anything out there.

They may think that they are only sharing their private information with friends (many of whom they have only ever met online), but who are those "friends" then sharing that information with.

The thing I would like to refer to is that although Facebook has a number of teams who deal with abuse reports on their site ( we are meant here to two teams, namely "Hate and Harassment", and the "Abusive Content"), nevertheless, there has been an increasingly great number of FB accounts with bad, obscene contents.. I think this is an evidence that they don't care as long as nobody reports against such accounts.. In other words, they follow the old saying which goes ((keep the donkey where its owner wants it to be))..

Facebook has over one billion users (well, one billion minus one, since Andy Germany quit). Can you imagine what it would take to monitor the postings of one billion people?

The handful of CR4 moderators, who volunteer their time, have a tough task monitoring THIS place. Although things seem to have calmed down since that bathtub incident.

<<Can you imagine what it would take to monitor the postings of one billion people?>>.. Do you think that those one billion people will post information at the same time?? Certainly, they won't... Beyond that, a lot of Facebookers all over the world are passive in terms of their interaction, I mean, they tend to receive others' thoughts/photos/news rather than sending theirs... On the other hand, the comparison between this forum and FB in terms of the "monitoring" task is unreasonable... The work at CR4 is done voluntarily (at least this is what I think), but FB employs workers to keep an eye on all things published on their website!!

Actually, well written software can alert the necessary people to certain, well selected words, phrases and sentences, so they do not have to search by hand.

There is no way that such sites can be checked out manually.....

Major Governments do it every second of every day to catch terrorists.....it is nothing new. They follow emails, text messages and spoken telephone calls, all with software on computers. It is very common and very refined.....Its been complained of many times by many people, including Mr Edward Snowden!!

A computer professional for the CIA if I remember correctly!! But basically the US Government....He is still "on the run" from the US Government!!

Furthermore, the BBC reporters used the FaceBook "Report Button" to name and shame and get the Pedophiles and their unfortunate comments removed!

FB did not need "to go looking" THEY WERE TOLD!!

Many times, different people, different websites....

BUT NO ACTION WAS TAKEN BY FB on any of the BBC "report Button" actions!!!!

Now that is a real problem....

So no matter how many people there are members in FB, suspect reports were simply ignored or assumed to be OK, so the software they use appears to not work properly.....nor do the people doing the work either....

Anyone here who has children, who are suddenly involved, for no apparent reason, on Pedophile websites, whether FB or other ones, quickly gets a different view of this problem, I guarantee that!!

I have seen so many of these happenings on the UK and US news broadcasts. Just because someone posts for their friends, on what is supposedly a safe Forum, whoever does not agree cannot simply call them stupid...

Misinformed is probably better and certainly far more friendly.

My Daughters do not post photos. Not because of anything I have said, they told ME first, a long time ago!!!

But each to his own opinion, the world would be a worse place if we all had the same one!!

Maybe it's a sting operation by law enforcement...It's a common strategy to offer illegal substances or goods for sale, and then arrest the suspects caught in the web....
