Facebook's Questionable Policy on Violent Content Toward Women | WIRED

“You just need to be raped,” the commenter told Agustsdottir. Agustsdottir reported the image to Facebook, tagging it as “graphic violence."

A few hours later she received a notice that the image did not meet the criteria for removal. She reported the image several more times over a period of 24 hours, along with numerous other users, and all received the same response: “This photo wasn’t removed.” Finally, on New Year’s Eve – more than two days after her initial report – Agustsdottir contacted an Icelandic media outlet, DV.is, that broke the story, and it was soon picked up by other Icelandic news sources.
