> You don't mention the year(s), but I recently listened to Jordan Peterson's podcast episode 503. One Woman’s War on P*rnhub | Laila Mickelwait.

Laila Mickelwait is a director at Exodus Cry, formerly known as Morality in Media (yes, that's their original name). Exodus Cry/Morality in Media is an explicitly Christian organization that openly seeks to outlaw all forms of pornography, in addition to outlawing abortion and many gay rights including marriage. Their funding comes largely from right-wing Christian fundamentalist and fundamentalist-aligned groups.

Aside from the fact that she has an axe to grind, both she (as an individual) and the organization she represents have a long history of misrepresentating facts or outright lying in order to support their agenda. They also intentionally and openly refer to all forms of sex work (from consensual pornography to stripping to sexual intercourse) as "trafficking", against the wishes of survivors of actual sex trafficking, who have extensively document why Exodus Cry actually perpetuates harm against sex trafficking victims.

> everything, from what that lady said, the numbers of pedophilia videos, bestiality, etc. was rampant.

This was disproven long ago. Pornhub was actually quite good about proactively flagging and blocking CSAM and other objectionable content. Ironically (although not surprisingly, if you're familiar with the industry), Facebook was two to three orders of magnitude worse than Pornhub.

But of course, Facebook is not targeted by Exodus Cry because their mission - as you can tell by their original name of "Morality in Media" - is to ban pornography on the Internet, and going after Facebook doesn't fit into that mission, even though Facebook is actually way worse for victims of CSAM and trafficking.

Sure, but who did the proactive flagging back then? Probably moderators. Seems like a shitty job nonetheless

As far as I can tell, Facebook is still terrible.

I have a throwaway Facebook account. In the absence of any other information as to my interests, Facebook thinks I want to see flat earth conspiracy theories and CSAM.

When I report the CSAM, I usually get a response that says "we've taken a look and found that this content doesn't go against our Community Standards."

Don't believe this for a second. She went on PBD with a binder full of receipts detailing how terrible PH moderation is and how blatantly they skirt regulations, laws, and morality for sheer greed.

Yeah, it was during that time, before the great purge. It's not just sexual depravity, people used that site to host all kinds of videos that would get auto-flagged anywhere else (including, the least of it, full movies).
