“Once the images are reported, they will be reviewed by our User Operations team – who are responsible for reviewing incoming reports and taking the necessary action.
“Across much of the wider web there are few controls on behaviour and the content that individuals can post. That isn’t the case on Facebook. Facebook has a real identity policy, which makes people accountable for their actions and behaviour.
“When people on Facebook do find themselves in a situation where they feel uncomfortable, we encourage them to use our reporting tools so the content or activity can be investigated.
“We also have a set of rules that set out how people are expected to behave – the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. These rules are intended to create a balance between enabling free speech and preventing harassment and abuse.”
