I suppose then that is when you try to call law enforcement.

He should definitely face some kind of punishment for his actions, I'm going to assume he is close to her age so maybe full blown prosecution is a little to much but he should be arrested, interviewed and cautioned, seeing as he was basically distributing paedophilia images.

IIRC the age in the UK at which you are able to be held responsible for your criminal actions is 10.

Correct although they do have other punishments available for younger children who break the law and children as young as 6 can be prosecuted if it's really serious (rape, murder etc).

My mistake, I was thinking of the way they are treated, rather than the age which they can be arrested. Over 10 they are accountable for their crimes, but are not punished in the same way. It's normally done in ways that aims to educate the offender and avoid giving them a record other than a young offender record, which is not taken as seriously by employers. Being put right on the sex offenders list at 14 will affect them significantly for the rest of their life. Even moving where they live will be traumatic (or, more so than normal) for something stupid they did as a kid. It's like sending a 14 year old caught shoplifting to adult prison for the full sentence and giving them an adult criminal record.

The day one of you kids comes up with a program with algorithms close to the level of Facebook's, you can go ahead and criticize it and say it ought to be better. Not that you can't do that now, I just won't take you seriously because you aren't good enough to know how to solve the problem, you're just the stereotypical CEO who says get it done without knowing how to do it and everybody else kills themselves trying to figure out how to do it, because if they knew how they would have done it a long time ago

Guys, you forget that this is a child we're talking about. She likely did not decide to take a nude pic, but was pressured into doing so.

FB is into blackmailing young girls for pictures they don't want displayed on their site?

Blackmail is not a criminal case and not going after the blackmailer instead?

Ok...

 

Making her country proud I guess

But she's also suing the blackmailer

 

As for Facebook, they seem to not be liable, but fuck Facebook.

The man is in possession of child pornography. Tell me that's not illegal.

Well, they did technically distribute child pornography, even if for a somewhat brief amount of time.

I understand. In my original post, I mentioned that if Facebook was not going to do anything, then the law enforcement should. Actually, they should do something regardless of whether or not Facebook does. He has broken a serious law and should be in prison right now.

And facebook is liable for that how?  They took action as soon as they were notified. They can't be expected to be omniscient.

I know right, It pisses me off when people get up set of leaked NUDES then WHY the fuck did you take some pictures of you naked.

For private use, and you expect your private photos to be safe.

Im sorry but there's no situation where a 14 year old taking naked pictures is OK. I mean what exactly is the personal use case? 

 

You suggesting she's "using" them herself? I hardly think she gets off to her own pictures. 

 

And the alternative is for someone else to "use" them which is illegal pretty much everywhere.

1) Why does a naked image of a 14yo girl even exist? No I'm not stupid and I was that age once but why are kids not being educated on this very topic by parents and schools? 

THANK YOU. She should take this opportunity to learn the concept of responsibility for her own actions. Even at 7 I knew having naked pictures of me was a bad idea.

When everyone's dissing your age category  I will say people my age are fucking retards sometimes. Like why. Honestly? At my age I know what alll that shit is and that I shouldnt do it. If this girl was online all the time she would know about stuff like this. Some people really need to absorb more info not just channel it through both ears

What's your problem? If you have nothing respectful or even mature to say you shouldn't say anything at all. The way you respond to things, I'm sorry for saying this, is similar to a child.

It's not the age, but if she was 20 this wouldn't make the headlines.

Well it's apparently the first time anyone has tried to sue Facebook over pictures posted on the site.

Why exactly are you here posting your nonsense if "that's there problem to take care of not mine"?

Leaving aside that she's underage, because it is your freaking right to do so.

I don't know where you live but in the UK taking a nude picture of someone underage is illegal even if you take it of yourself. We class it as creating child pornography btw.

Actually it is Facebook problem, not sure which rock you live under but here in the civilised world, taking a picture of a minor (even if it's yourself), giving it to ANYBODY else, posting it on the Internet (or indeed hosting it) is flat out illegal. 

 

Technically her, the poster and Facebook are all guilty of breaching child exploitation laws.
