   A Facebook photo of Robert Hull, who was arrested earlier this month on child pornography chargesPaedophiles are brazenly sharing child pornography pictures and videos on Facebook, and internet safety experts believe the social networking site has failed to curtail the practice.

In an investigation, this website established that there are countless profiles and groups created by paedophiles – sometimes using their real names – who publish child pornography images and videos on the site.Paedophiles add a series of keywords to their profiles – such as “lolita”, “hussyfan”, “r@ygold” and “PTHC” (pre-teen hardcore) – which helps them find each other on the site using the built-in search feature.

“Thanks to my new friends for helping me realise that I am more normal than I thought I was,” reads a wall post by one user, who talks about abusing his “gorgeous” 10-year-old daughter.“So this is where we let it all hang out and can finally talk openly and share with like-minded people.”

The user lists his activities as “daughters”, “lolitas” and “I love to play with my daughter”.
