Original Message
The social media giant has been blasted for appearing to condone paedophilia by including a strange question in a survey it asked a select group of users to complete.
The company says the questions were designed to gain insight into how users think Facebook’s policy is generated, particularly around extreme and illegal content. But the execution left a lot to be desired.
The question that has got everyone so upset asked users their opinion on how Facebook should ideally handle a case in which a male adult solicits sexual pictures from an underage girl on the website.
“In thinking of an ideal world where you could set Facebook’s policies, how would you handle the following: a private message in which an adult man asks a 14-year-old girl for sexual pictures,” the survey asked.
The possible responses to that question were:
• This content should be allowed on Facebook and I would not mind seeing it.
• This content should be allowed on Facebook but I don’t want to see it.
• This content should not be allowed on Facebook and no one should be able to see it.
• I have no preference on this topic.
After the question was posted to social media it prompted a swift backlash, and Facebook pulled the survey.
