"We don't keep pictures of naked children on our site." That doesn't seem too simplistic. Especially since censorship for Facebook requires an international staff of thousands to go through every single photo looking for child pornography or gore. How do you train contractors in the Philippines the subtleties between a photo that has historic merit and one that is lewd?

The only reason FB is the "safe" place it is is because they have done an incredibly good and consistent job of getting this type of stuff done. And I don't see any way they run around policies like this without just giving special privileges to ignore the posts of more influential people.

The argument over whether it is too simplistic is already all over all the other subthreads, feel free to engage in it there; I don't feel the need to repeat what's been said elsewhere here. In GP, I was just correcting you on what the nature of the complaint is.
