I don't know about you, but my Facebook is littered with every day pedophilia, mostly generated and edited photo/video shorts with literally children doing erotic dancing in prostitute clothing. I don't know, did I click on something wrong? Some ads lead to obviously adult pay-per-view accounts on third party sites - you're a click away from porn. Many posts, appearing for some reason clustered - I guess when their advertiser's budget allows - are Russian propaganda with armies of bots liking posts about "how great Motherland Russia is". And no, blocking, disabling and going out of my way to tell Facebook I don't like this content and that I'm here only for astronomical communities doesn't help at all. Being a Ukrainian father living abroad, this not only irritates the hell out of me, but makes me deeply sad about teenagers encountering all this crap. This is capitalizing on children vulnerabilities. This is making money on the propaganda of terrorism. I think Facebook should burn in hell, and I wish good communities, whatever is left, would move out of there and find a new home ASAP.
