WSJ: Instagram Connects Vast Pedophile Network
Is it any surprise to see this?

WIND: it is really hard to believe that Mark Zuckerberg, competent as he is, was/is unaware of these goings on.
Why don’t executives risk jail for stuff like this? They get paid huge salaries, and can just pretend it isn’t happening?
