A BBC investigation found 100 "sexualised images of children" on Facebook. Auntie Beeb reported the images to Facebook, who found over 80% of them to be "not in breach of their guidelines" - despite one of them including a still from a child abuse video with a label requesting viewers "share child pornography."

The twist is that when the BBC followed up on this failure, Facebook reported the BBC to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre for "distributing images of child exploitation".

How can Facebook expect users to help them police their content when reporting abuse gets the users accused of the abuses they are reporting?

    Of course water won't help. Anyone who has played D&D knows you need acid to make the troll soluble.

    Internet trolls are suicidal trolls.
    They're the only ones dumb enough to constantly start flame wars.

    (for the few who don't know their classics: burning a troll is one of the few ways to prevent regeneration after you kill him. TMYK)
