I wish to make a brief comment on this matter. Should the first port of call not be the law enforcement agency? Should it not be making the call? It is not Facebook that should be the judge and jury on what stays up online to find the perpetrator. Surely it is the law enforcement, be it the Garda in Ireland or Interpol, that is the first port of call and not Facebook in making this decision.
