WSJ: Meta Is Struggling to Boot Pedophiles Off Facebook and Instagram

The headline and deck on this article are too kind to Meta. The companies do not seem to be “struggling” to get rid of this content. They don’t seem to be trying very hard at all.

More from Casey Newton (paid sub required I think) who points out the difference between “Internet problems” and “platform problems.” “Internet problems” arise from the fact that we live in a world where evil exists, and will inevitably find its way onto the Internet. “Platform problems” are unique to a particular platform.

Pedophilia content on Meta platforms isn’t an Internet problem. Facebook and Instagram are actively promoting that content to pedophiles.

I’m not feeling good about being on Facebook right now.
