Remove coworker harassment content from Facebook

Why this happens on Facebook

• Facebook Groups can host closed NCII trading communities that escape automated moderation. Marketplace listings have been used to distribute NCII as fake product images, and Profile photos can be reverse searched.
• Coworker NCII typically follows workplace conflict, romantic rejection, or terminated workplace relationships. Distribution often begins in workplace adjacent channels including team chats, work alumni networks, or industry groups.
• Employers have independent legal obligations under Title VII to investigate and address workplace sexual harassment including the creation and distribution of NCII by employees.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Facebook typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
