While Meta has acknowledged that it has a long way to go in combatting this issue, we shouldn't forget that it has already taken down two dozen pedophile rings and removed countless pieces of child abuse content. As tackling this issue is its number one priority, this tech leader has also set up a new task force devoted entirely to ridding its platforms of these heinous criminals and their illegal content uploads.
Sexually explicit child abuse content has run rampant online since the tech boom, and its number one supplier is Meta. Whether it's on search engines or social media platforms, pedophiles can run simple searches to gain easy access to countless child victims. While user privacy is important, tech companies certainly have the tools to target images that can lead to danger without violating the rights of law-abiding counterparts.
