"A BBC investigation has revealed that 80 per cent of child abuse images it reported to Facebook were not removed. Facebook responded to the allegations by requesting the BBC send examples of the material to it, then reporting the team to the authorities for sending them."

Edit: The title previously read (I am paraphrasing) "BBC finds FB failed to remove child abuse. FB reports BBC to authorities."

Making the information illegal instead of the act leads to these kinds of funny situations; where the reporter gets reported.

Evidence of child abuse, war crimes, and certain forms of violence in general seems to be illegal or at least unwantedin-and-of itself; and thus tends to get deleted by social networks.

Why was the title changed? It looks like the previous one was much better.

It is also editorialized now, which HN mods claim to not like?

I wasn't able to fit the year into the original title, so that's probably the reason.
