Facebook allows animal abuse

[Catherine]

I think Facebook and the whole social media phenomena has grown so fast that moderators are overwhelmed. They never anticipated all the different things people would post. I doubt they have any really experienced staff moderating the posts. Their rules about what is allowed can't keep up with what is being posted.

They need to rethink their policy on animal abuse and child abuse and other forms of violence. Until they can get on top of this we will need to be the watchers. I wonder if it is possible for them to sort it out. First they need to rethink their rules and guidelines. Hiring more staff is a start, but I wonder if they hired enough people.

I use  Facebook because it is my only connection to some people. It has its uses, but we need to pressure them about animal abuse. I should report things more often. I wonder if their staff can keep up with the reports they receive. It is not a job I would want.

I just came across an article about Facebook.

What do you think? We all know it has problems. Is it broken and can it be fixed? I don't know.
