    Their review system is largely ceremonial. It’s designed to get people to vent into a void and calm down instead of calling a congressman, lawyer, etc. Facebook has zero intention of chasing away pedophiles.

      Quite the contrary. Facebook charges extra to pedophiles and other reported miscreants to keep the posts up and account unblocked. It’s extra profit for them. What makes the whole thing even worse.

    I don’t use the platform but still have a presence so I can be contacted there. But half the messages I receive are unsolicited porn spam. Kids are getting that shit pushed to them!

    You know, this might not be for the worst.

    People really need to get used to the idea that everything you see online, and especially on Facebook is fake. Maybe it’s for the best if they don’t moderate things well enough to let people pretend otherwise.

      And the people who’s lives it ruins along the way are just collateral. No need to worry about them.

        I’m not saying it’s great.

        I just don’t see this ending without a bunch of people having their lives ruined, so whatever we can do to pull the bandaid off faster is the best we can hope for.
