It’s not really a debate-human trafficking violates our policies. This instance was discovered by a Facebook employee, and we took action immediately, not only to shut down the page, but to shut down the involved accounts.

We continue to evolve our ability to detect violations on our platforms, but YES, it is YOU, the community, who helps to police the content on Facebook.

I continue to be struck by the incredibly low levels of reporting across our Continent. We continue to develop educational materials, but I am always surprised at how few people, even in circles like this, know to report bad content into the platform.

Hi listers,

Im following a debate on cnn about this south sudanese 'baby bride' who was auctioned on fb. 

It brings me back to this question, who should regulate facebook? Some argue fb is too big to regulate all the things that happen on their platform. 

Who should police fb? Is it us? We have power to shut down our pages if we dont agree with what goes on in their...but we don't. Why?

Is it facebook? Do they care about being responsible especially in Africa?

Is it government? And just how far can the government reach? 

Or should we just relax and face the beginning of the  end by having an attitude of anything goes as long we have internet. 

Nice day everyone.
