Just recently, there was a story of man who lost access to his google account (email, etc) because Google accused him of sending child pornography. The images in question? They were pictures his doctor requested he take and send to him. The police looked into it and were very clear that it was _not_ child pornography. It's bad enough the man lost access to his account without warning or the ability to question the charges before it happened. It's even worse the Google did not re-instate the account, because they decided their automated system acted correctly; even though it's been factually shown they they were wrong.

So YES, Facebook should need to give the person the right to defend themselves before acting taking action because of _alleged_ child porn.

I would classify various types of ToS offenses. ToS offenses that are also criminal offenses would have a different appeals path since, among other things, the user would get reported to police. As well, the civil liability on FB/whoever would be that if the claimed offense was false and sustained throughout the appeals internal process, then the user would have basis for a civil suit. A false claim that you put of CSAM would be devastating to your reputation, would it not? Surely you'd want to get made whole following such a devastating false claim!

Let's turn your boogie man around. What should happen if your small business page that you were using to drive revenue out of which you're paying a small payroll were taken down due to false or otherwise incorrect claims that you're violating the hosting company's ToS? You'd take that lying down and say "well, I must have done something!"? Obviously not, not if you knew you hadn't "done something".

I don't like your approach to debating these things. It feels like it's not in good faith. I put effort into my replies and you come back with boogie man retorts.

The appeals process is what determines that it's child porn.

Also, not all of the things described even count as "forced to keep serving child porn". For instance, civil liability for acting on false reports doesn't force Facebook to keep serving child porn.
