It remains a major issue without end because there are no punitive consequences.

Facebook could out, shame, and be a significant aid to prosecution of the individuals who post illegal and obscene content.

But there are no regulations compelling them to do so. There's no business incentive to do it themselves.

And maybe most important, it's very clear that Facebook has no ethics in their own internal culture to take a stand on principle.

Heh - there can’t be punitive consequences, since FB has offloaded the manpower intensive work to outsourcing firms.
