To add to its woes from a host of ongoing controversies, Facebook has managed to attract some more unwanted attention due to further internal missteps. The social media giant sent a survey to users asking how the company should react if/when adults request sexual images from children.

As The Guardian noted, Facebook sought opinions from users on what its rules should be regarding a "private message where a grown man asks a 14-year-old girl for pictures".
Jonathan Haynes, digital editor at The Guardian, tweeted about this survey on Sunday. In case you're wondering, here's what Facebook asked: "Considering an ideal world where you could set Facebook's policies, how would you handle the following: a private message in which a grown man asks a 14-year-old girl for sexual images."
The question was accompanied by multiple choice answers that included allowing or stopping the content. In addition to that, there was another question along the same lines. Surprisingly, the multiple choice answers did not include an option to contact the police, which is the ideal response to such behavior.
