I do not understand why the mainstream media hasn't picked up on this. Their are pedophiles who have YT pages pretending to be a child. They upload videos of children onto their pages. They pretend to be children to get children to do inappropriate things. They even black mail children who do something inappropriate. Then threaten them, if they don't continue to do videos of themselves naked they will post their other inappropriate videos. I have a YT page and did a video exposing one of these predators and my video got flagged as inappropriate, taken down and I got a warning from YT. Why? Because the pedophiles on YT are well organized and flag videos that show them in a negative light. The predator I was trying to expose still has his site up and still is showing videos that depict; boy man love and girl man love. My hope is that the media will start investigating the extend of the problem on YouTube. We need to keep our children safe. Rosie

It is the world's largest photo-sharing website, boasting 901million monthly users as of March, 2012.
But Facebook, despite its effort to censor illegal images, has become a den for pedophiles trading graphic images, according to a new report.
An exposé published by WND.com has revealed a disturbing amount of child pornography being shared by predators on the social network.
Disturbing: A screenshot of a Facebook user who
calls themselves 'Kidsex Young' appeared to facilitate the trading of
illegal images and videos
A screenshot of a Facebook user page called 'Kidsex Young' shows a timeline of approved friend requests between users allegedly trading photos and videos of abuse.
On the page, one user asks others, 'Care to trade vids?' Another posts a clip of a naked man fondling a baby, Ms Schilling reports.
Some censored screenshots published on the website were taken from entire albums of children forced into acts by pedophiles.
Others too graphic to publish included photographs of children forced to have sex with each other, being raped by adults, and forced to expose their genitals to the camera.
Social network: All illegal photographs and illicit Facebook pages were reported to the FBI
But this disturbing underbelly of the popular social networking website is not a new revelation to the company, which until last year relied heavily on reports from its users about illegal activity.
Last May, the inclusion of Microsoft's PhotoDNA program helped to cull through images and data quickly in a bid to police the website and rid it of abuse.
Facebook said at the time the program was used to search for several thousand illegal images among the 200million uploaded each day, focusing on children under 12 as part of an initiative to battle 'the worst of the worst'.
The program is able to search for some of the thousands of photographs collected by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which helps to identify and aide victims and cooperates with authorities on investigations into their origins.
However, a disturbing amount of exploitative content remains, according to the WND report.
Groups available to Facebook users uncovered by the network included: Kidsex Young, Preteen Lesbians, 10-17 Teen Bisexual, PTHC (or preteen hard-core pornography), 12 to 13 Boy Sex, Young Gay Pics and Movie Trade, Gangbanging, Teen Sex, Love Little Kids, Incest Forever, Menfor Babygirls, Sex Little Girls and Nude Teens.
Facebook spokesman Iain Mackenzie categorized child pornography posts on the website as 'rare', however, and said the company has a zero tolerance policy for offenders.
Mr Mackenzie told MailOnline: 'Unfortunately, these disgusting individuals exist in our society and, on rare occasions, on Facebook. However, no service has done more to seek them out, remove their content, and help bring them to justice than Facebook.
'We have a zero tolerance policy for child exploitation materials on the site and take industry-leading measures to try to accomplish that goal including building a dedicated team of professional investigators, integrating Photo DNA, a technology that scans all images on Facebook and flags know child exploitative material, developing a collaborative partnership with NCMEC and law enforcement specializing in child protection, and building many cases that have been escalated to law enforcement.'
Michelle Collins, vice president for the exploited children division at NCMEC, echoed his comments, and said the organisation receives reports from all social networking companies as required by law.
The average time span for the content to be removed was three days, she said.
