"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!

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.

Shocked but not shocked. Do you have a link to verify this?
