Facebook child abuse images ringleader jailed

Dear people,

as the second term begins, we bring you a report originated in Australia about pornography in Facebook. An international child pornography ring that operated on Facebook has been brought down with the social networking site's support, Australian police said Friday.

Eleven people have been charged in Australia, Britain and Canada in connection with the syndicate, which involved people using Facebook to distribute and view graphic sexual images, police said.

Here you can download the activity, which includes the answers on the last page.

Hope you find it useful!

Should you happen to have any doubt, contact your teacher.

Kind regards,
