san francisco sources stated that facebook has shared for the first time data on how it takes action against child nudity and child sexual exploitation, terrorist propaganda, illicit firearm and drug sales and suicide and self-injury on its photo sharing app Instagram. In Q2 2019, Facebook removed about 512,000 pieces of content related to child nudity and child sexual exploitation on Instagram.
"In Q3 (July-September period), we saw greater progress and removed 754,000 pieces of content, of which 94.6 per cent we detected proactively," Guy Rosen, VP Integrity, said in a statement on Wednesday. It is ironic that Instagram has also become a platform, like facebook, for such acts.
"For child nudity and sexual exploitation of children, we made improvements to our processes for adding violations to our internal database in order to detect and remove additional instances of the same content shared on both facebook and instagram," Rosen explained.
