If they WFH, then nothing will prevent them from 'copying' any material they want, even if by cellphone photo of the computer screen, no?

Well, in office there was very strict no smart phone policy. Privacy laws were big issue when WFH started in march. This company also does phone support for other clients, and handles credit cards. There are huge fines. I am not sure how they made it compliant for FB. Propably sensitive stuff is still handled from office.

But if you have privacy expectation on fb...

They certainly hide also your personal information like name, peofike picture, etc... So at the end its just moderating texts or pictures without an author? Maybe they also automatically replace names in text?

I dont think that would hurt anyone then

Child abuse pictures/videos can still be shared or sold online easily without PII. Other exceptions are celebrities or the difficulty in identifying PII in text.

Facebook is the Silkroad 3.0 LOL

Why would anyone use FB for that? It is already very hard to run legal sex related groups on FB. Registration is pain etc..

Some other social networks are full of porn, but even those have zero tolerance for this.

Couldn't you just watermark all photos before showing them to workers? Probably wouldn't stand to sophisticated attacks but would guard against theft from "low-skilled" employees...

Well if the content is being reported it is more likely public already or "almost public" (a big group or someone with lots of contacts)

So I think the privacy expectation for that kind of thing is low.
