Facebook is more harmful than people realize, their algorithm is abusive, and it appears they have no safeguards for kids

I have been noticing steadily since last summer that Facebook is pushing more and more harmful content in our feeds. A lot of random rage baiting, blatant misinformation, and even some calling for racism and hate. The worst offender is the reel algorithm. I started getting ACTUAL csam one time and once I reported it, my feed went off the rails. Suddenly, I get more and more videos of this content. I report it every time and the videos are somehow not against community standards.

I don't want to describe in detail but these videos are from foreign countries and it involves babies or toddlers. Privates are sometimes shown but if there is anything more, the video has a large emoji over it blocking the actual acts. Anyone with a brain can tell what's being done even through the emojis. The comment section is terrible, and NOT ONE video has ever been removed.

I have reported FB groups that say it's for making friends ages 9-14 right in the title, yet there's no way of reporting it so it just stays there. Reverse image searching on some of the "kids" looking for friends shows some of the photos were stolen which makes me think there's adults lurking in these groups.

I feel that something may be terribly wrong here and the cracks are starting to show. How can people have their profiles removed for seemingly nothing or comments removed because of strong wording when there are videos like this still flailing around. What more can be done about this?

Theory

I am very sure others may have pointed this out before but I just haven't seen it.

I always figured Gypsy's jealous of her sister because she's tall, cuter than her, and blonde. She probably notices Ken looking at her and he may act differently when the sis is around. It's so obvious her jealousy is based on that.

For anyone who wants a substitute

I'm not a gatekeeper on good finds, especially for something that could potentially help with self harming.

I have bought this tool twice now and I enjoy using it and it absolutely replaced the urge a few times. Essentially, it's a brush with a red ink and a small pointed piece of wood attached. It simulates pain from the wood scratching while the brush releases red ink that looks realistic. The ink also has peppermint oils added if you want and it adds a cooling/burning sensation. The brush is refillable as well and they include extra ink.

It's cheap enough and I'm just gonna leave it for anyone interested.
