[LINK] Send Facebook Executives to Jail for Promoting Contract Cheating Services?

[Tom Worthington]

Offering to write a students' work for them has been illegal in 
Australia since 2020. However, when I asked Facebook to take down an 
post promoting such a service to Canberra students, they refused.

Perhaps it is time for TEQSA, who administer the law, to prosecute 
Facebook. The financial penalty is only $100,000 but the possibility of 
a two year jail sentence might get the attention of Facebook executives.

What Facebook replied:

"We didn't take down ***'s post

We know that this is not what you wanted, and we thought it might help 
if we explain how the review process works.

Our technology helps us review reports first. This means that we can 
find content that goes against our Community Standards quickly and reply 
to people in a reasonable period of time. Some reports, such as those 
that might contain child exploitation, are prioritised for review by our 
team.

Our technology reviewed your report and, ultimately, we decided not to 
take the content down. If you think that we've made a mistake, you can 
request another review. We'll use what you've sent us to improve the 
technology and the reporting experience.

We understand that the content may be offensive or hurtful. Facebook is 
a global community, and people express themselves differently, but we 
only take down content that goes against our standards. We review and 
update our standards regularly, with the help of experts.

Thank you for helping to keep Facebook safe and welcoming for everyone."
