Facebook could become a ‘one stop grooming shop’

There’s a warning that plans by Facebook to let users hide their social media posts, could allow online child sex abuse to go undetected.

The NSPCC says the tech company would become what it calls, ” a one stop grooming shop” if it goes ahead with the move.

Figures from the charity, say last year police in the UK recorded more than four thousand occasions, when Facebook or its messaging services were used in child sex abuse.

Sky’s Frazer Maude has the details.
