If I ever need the help of law enforcement, I'd be quite happy if they weren't all tangled up in investigating people uploading "graphic content" on Facebook.

Especially given that in many countries Facebook doesn't contribute to public infrastructure all that much - eg. their effective tax rate in the UK is below 2% [1]. So the deal is that I (as a taxpayer) support the infrastructure, while they'll outsource their workload onto it, "calling police" for the pettiest things all around the clock. Thanks!
