Facebook doesn’t care about your kids

Back in 2012, I found myself in the middle of a crusade against Facebook’s casual attitude toward pedophilia. And I was shocked by the company’s indifference to what the children who use its site were being subjected to.

Mine didn’t start out as a crusade. A private detective I know who fights against child abuse asked me to contact Facebook because the company was refusing to take down a page that had the title: “Pedophile are People Too [sic].”

I figured this would be simple enough. Surely, Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook, which was planning a public stock offering at the time, didn’t realize the page was posted and would relent when a newspaper called.

Facebook didn’t. In fact, it pretty much told me to f–k off.
