Facebook sent some of its users a bizarre survey asking whether they would like child grooming to be allowed on the social network.
Selected users were asked how they think Facebook should set the rules on whether adults can ask minors for sexually explicit photos (a crime), and whether, if they controlled Facebook, they would let such messages be allowed (also a crime).
The Guardian's Jonathan Haynes posted screenshots of the survey on Twitter, and The Times also previously reported on its contents.
In one question, Facebook asked: "In thinking about an ideal world where you could set Facebooks' 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 multiple choice answers include "this content should be allowed on Facebook, and I would not mind seeing it" and "this content should not be allowed on Facebook, and no one should be able to see it." Such messages would clearly be illegal throughout the US, the UK, and elsewhere in the world, and there is no option to say they should be reported to the police.
