"Facebook said on Wednesday in response to a lawsuit accusing it of not doing enough to protect users from human traffickers that it works internally and externally to thwart such predators.

Human trafficking is abhorrent and is not allowed on Facebook. We use technology to thwart this kind of abuse and we encourage people to use the reporting links found across our site so that our team of experts can review the content swiftly,” a spokeswoman for Facebook said in a written statement.

A Texas woman, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, sued Facebook in Harris County District Court in Houston this week, claiming that she was lured into the sex trade at age 15 by a man who “friended” her and that Facebook did not do enough to verify the user’s identity or warn her that sex traffickers were lurking on the platform.

“Facebook also works closely with anti-trafficking organizations and other technology companies, and we report all apparent instances of child sexual exploitation to NCMEC (the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children),” the company’s spokeswoman said."

So, is this true? I recall posts here about really shady stuff being found on Facebook. Now's the time to expose it!

THAT'S hilarious FB is the CIA

First I hate everything about Facebook. But with Jane Doe's rational. Say an adult befriends a kid in a store and abducts them. Then the kid or their parents can sue the store because they didn't warn them there could be predators in the store? I'm not following the logic here.

I hate facebook. I was at a meeting and they want us to join facebook. I said NO. I hate it and I will not ever do it. I told them I will not be party to anything Zuckerberg comes up with. They all looked at me like I was nuts and I don't care. People are so clueless.

NCMEC? That's a laugh.

Facebook held a poll among its users to find out if they would be okay with adults requesting nudes from children on the site, so I seriously doubt they'll do anything meaningful to combat sex trafficking on the site.
