    found that Instagram has been running paid adverts promoting child sexual abuse material

    Uh oh… hopefully somebody goes to jail for that.

      Making them stop is the extent of what society allows as punishment for companies doing something an individual would go to jail for.

            Society in general worldwide.

            Oh that’s bad because it means that you are Usamerican and have no clue (which is sometimes the same)

              • What countries have prosecuted anyone for being in the Epstein files?
              • Has the Catholic church or any mainstream religion suffered any consequences for decades of horrible behavior?
              • What countries, except for a few in east Asia, hold CEOs and other people in leadership positions accountable for mass harm to anyone other than the wealthy and powerful?
              • Bernie Madoff is famous for being punished for running a pyramid scheme, but that was only because he ripped off the wealthy. Same with Enron, they screwed over people in power.
              • Has any country punished any of the people in positions of power for all the child porn their image generators pumped out?

              Let me know where people are actually being held legally accountable on a regular basis.

                Our law says explicitly jail no less than 2 years and the officials are not allowed to put the case down early.

                For the 200 other countries, you do your googeling yourself.

      They can promise to form a group of engineers that will work to fix the issue and then a year or so afterwards they will just fire those engineers… Like they did the last time something like this happened.

    Telegram said it had removed more than 274,000 groups and channels related to child sexual abuse material in 2026.

    Why is no one in jail for this then??

        Maybe once he’s impeached or his term is over, however, he’ll have so much influence still I doubt any adverse outcomes will come to him, unfortunately…

          Trump only has influence because he is president without that is just this whiny goblin that cannot keep his mouth shut and knows too much. Epstein had influence and knew too much, and look how that turned out.

            That whiny goblin has an army of followers that he has been able to manipulate as a political tool to scare Republicans in Congress into voting the way he wants them too. He has also been able to whip them into a violent mob that tried to overthrow the American government.

            I have no explanation for it, but Trump’s power is not limited to being President.

              I’m sure the CIA have a heart attack gun or something, he’ll be taken out if and when, assuming he doesn’t decline to the point of which is no longer a threat.

              There is no way he’ll be allowed to just walk away. The 1% don’t have total control of him and they can’t have that.

      I mean, every few months it seems we hear about some major online international crackdown that scooped up a bunch of these fuckers. The sad fact is probably just that there are more of them than there are investigators/special agents

    zuckerburg and his shitty company explicitly allow this shit because it makes them money, and only ever remove it, feigning ignorance, once their actions are condemned by a government. profiting off of child sex abuse.

    zuckerburg profited off child sexual abuse.

    The longer I stay sober, witnessing events like this, the less willing I am to subdue my ever-strengthening desire to burn shit down

      Bad (but tolerated by Google/Facebook) side-effect of Programmatic Advertising (automated auction of ad spaces) is, that malvertising and crap gets in.
