Facebook resists installing on-site 'panic button'
Facebook is continuing to resist placing a "panic button" on its pages despite calls to do so by the head of a British child protection agency.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) centre wants such a link on every page of the website.
Facebook said an existing link allowing users to report abuse will in future enable a report to be made to Ceop.
Richard Allen, Facebook's head of policy in Europe, said the site was one of the "safest places on the internet".
Facebook and Ceop representatives had a meeting in the US to discuss the issue.
Ceop's director Jim Gamble had a meeting in Washington DC with Facebook, which says it takes the issue seriously.
Mr Allen said Facebook and Ceop had a "common agenda" on child safety on the internet.
He said the site had showed Mr Gamble "a series of measures which we think will meet the requirements that he has".
