Facebook faces child porn probe
Facebook has been accused of negligence over child pornography after users, some of which underaged, were encouraged to post naked pictures of themselves on the website.
Australian watchdog group The Watchers made the accusations following the creation of new pages which are in direct breach of Facebook’s ‘no nudity’ policy.
The group has accused Facebook of allowing the creation and distribution of child porn to go unsupervised with online safety groups criticising the websites reactive actions.
“These pages started a couple of weeks ago and there are clearly underage children on there,” says Kate Drury to The Age, member of The Watchers.
“It’s disgusting and it’s illegal, and these children need to understand that once it’s up there it’s up forever.”
As well as Facebook, Drury has taken her concerns to Crime Stoppers, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
