That's surprising to me. I believe you, but I'm surprised. I would have assumed that this information would have been turned over to the police and the perpetrators whittled out of the general population in short order.

They do turn stuff over, I have no idea of what % is though...
They should be transparent about it, IMO - as we really need a growing outcry on child safety rights.
We constantly talk about the rights and protections for all these various groups, yet, in really really dire situations like this, sex trafficking etc, by comparison is way more important than kvetching over identity pronouns and such.
We need a global anti-pedo-abuse force.

I am really glad you posted this, as I’ve heard similar from people within the org. It becomes hard to justify working on such products when you know you’re perpetuating so much harm, with zero interest from leadership in resolving the issues.
You might be getting downvoted by your former colleagues. Would you be surprised?
When I was at FB ~2012+ -- I commuted in with one of the content mods on the CP/abuse -- and shit I heard from him was HORRIFIC. and there is TONS of it.
And with all the pedo-network shit coming to light these days.. child abuse is WAY WAY WAY worse than anyone can imagine on this planet.
Ill take your downvotes without comment as a tacit acquiescence to child abuse.
