Facebook said last week that it is creating an independent body to determine what should be removed from its Web site.

May I suggest that anything that shows or discusses abuse of children should be removed? Facebook has been lax about pedophilia and other issues that make the site unsafe for kids.

Sure, there is a lot of other stuff that Facebook should banish. But adults can judge whether political content and the like are dangerous and wrong.

My questions are these: Can Facebook — with or without an independent group — actually keep the bad stuff off its site? And if all the bad and dangerous stuff is removed, what will be left on Facebook?

I don’t care what Facebook’s stock is trading at, this is a company that has always been living on the edge of disaster.
