There's only been one occasion where I was unhappy with a Facebook post and they agreed to take it down upon request, so no further action was taken.

A friend, however, had to involve the police when he was accused of being a paedophile because his partner was much younger than him (albeit over the age of consent).

At the moment individuals are responsible for what they post on the internet, but they are thinking of making site owners responsible instead.

I find this to be a little unfair (as long as they deal with any complaints properly) as they aren't responsible for what others say.

It would be an administrative nightmare to have to moderate every post beforehand. Maybe there are programs that can do it automatically, I don't know.
