原文

After the death of the teenager Molly Russell, Facebook committed itself to taking down more graphic posts, pictures and even cartoons about self-harm and suicide.

Covid restrictions meant most of Facebook content moderators were sent home.

The NSPCC said the reduction in takedowns had "exposed young users to even greater risk of avoidable harm during the pandemic".
