According to a BBC investigation, Meta has removed Facebook accounts that disseminate “upskirting” footage in which women are secretly photographed upskirts. When the posts were previously reported, Meta initially did not remove them.

According to research by the BBC, Meta has deleted numerous groups and accounts from its Facebook platform that secretly shared intimate pictures of women in public. The British public broadcaster BBC reported this in a video on Wednesday.

However, Meta only reacted in the second step: After the BBC first asked Facebook to remove the “upskirting” posts via the reporting function, they were initially not deleted – because, according to Facebook, they would not violate any of its specific community standards.

BBC Finds Thousands of Users Sharing “Upskirting” Posts on Facebook

The English terms “upskirting” or “downblousing” mean when women are photographed unintentionally under their skirts or in their necklines. In its research, the BBC found “thousands” of users on Facebook who had distributed such “upskirting” material in groups. A Facebook user uploaded videos in a group of him stalking schoolgirls in New York and filming them up their skirts. The New York police have now started an investigation. Another man asked a Facebook group for tips on how best to take such footage without the victims noticing. According to the BBC, this post was not initially removed by Meta either.

“Upskirting” has been a criminal offense in Germany for two years

British Member of Parliament Jess Phillips (Labour Party), Shadow Secretary of State for Domestic Violence and Safeguards, told the BBC that the footage was not immediately removed from Facebook. She doesn’t understand how Facebook can think that the reported recordings don’t violate their community standards: “They work with abusers.”

Facebook itself issued a statement that sharing intimate photos without consent, as is the case with upskirting, is not permitted on Facebook. As a result of the BBC research, a large number of such groups and accounts have been removed and further measures have been taken to block the relevant hashtags.
