PORN SITE FRAUD: Facebook to investigate teen images on porn site scandal

Facebook is to investigate how pictures posted to the social media network by Irish teenagers ended up on a pornographic website without their consent.

The social media giant confirmed it will look into the incidents after a number of young women complained that their images had been shared on an explicit internet forum over the course of five years.

One victim said the perpetrators obtained her pictures despite her efforts to safeguard her profile by enabling Facebook’s strictest privacy settings.
