Meta expands reach against child exploitation
Facebook ▪ Community Guidelines – Child Exploitation ▪ June 13, 2022
The section on child exploitation for both Facebook and Instagram expanded to cover not only publications that exploit minors, but also “any activity” related to such acts.
This opens up the question of moderation of private discussions, as social platforms show difficulties in managing content related to child abuse —as recently as late March, the New York Times showed that moderation remains very light in this area, even though platforms are supposed to list this type of content and report it to authorities.
