“We’ve built enforcement mechanisms to quickly shut down the malicious Pages and accounts that attempt to exploit it,” Facebook told Bloomberg.Facebook said that it is now working with its legal team to “ensure appropriate consequences follow.”
This was after porn images of extreme violence, and fake photographs of celebs including Justin Bieber in sexual situations inundated the profiles of some Facebook users.
Exploiting a browser vulnerability, users were tricked into pasting malware into their browsers, which resulted in sharing the offensive content.
