I wonder if a Stanford degree was a necessity for such a job.
We should all consider ourselves lucky that we have a skill-set that is in high demand.
I don't think it's really "luck": if you love what you do and you make sure you are very good at it, you're going to be in pretty good shape no matter the economy. Outside of technology, there are many different fields that reward skilled workers: law, medicine, engineering, etc.
To really do it right you'd need a background in anthropology, sexuality, psychology, and international law. Such a degree program will probably never exist, so you need to go for a generally smart and adaptable person.
Is that person necessarily a Stanford grad? Certainly they are smart and driven, but personally I'd look for the person who was more exploratory and meandering in their self-education. My guess is that would negatively correlate with a Stanford degree.
There's a couple of protest groups starting up; some are angry and say that breastfeeding isn't against the TOS at all, since it's not porn. You are becoming a laughingstock among your more liberal members. Some members are posting even more breastfeeding images, in solidarity, generating even more complaints.
Another is claiming that this is a continuation of colonialism, since your company accepts advertisements from Nestle, and that your executives just want to see little Limpoponese babies die because more mothers accepted the use of formula instead of breast milk. Apparently this is a huge issue of national identity in Limpopo, blaming infant mortality on formula-pushing conglomerates. The Limpoponese health minister denounced your company in a prepared statement while your entire team in North America was asleep. Six hours later, it's front page news in Europe.

Although, it does kind of raise the sexism question - why is a topless male OK but not a topless female? Didn't NYC recently lose a lawsuit for that same sort of discrimination? I understand that facebook is a private entity and held to a different set of standards, but even so ...
So this is what Facebook views as the real threat to its future viability. Interesting.

Decide for yourself whether he's a tool or not, but he's a bit more than a porn cop.
Personally, I like the way Google's image search does it: the furry vore porn still there (hoo boy is it ever there), but it's hidden unless you turn the filter off. And it's easy to turn the filter on and off. Unfortunately this sort of thing has a lot of overhead, which Google only gets away from by using some very clever image recognition algorithms.
Another way is that you could establish a sub-site especially for porn. That works for reddit (NSFW reddit is a porn index and nobody tries to deny this anymore), but it would kind of break the UI of sites like Facebook.
Does anybody have a better way to more-or-less please everybody?
Not sure about that, they check the site the picture is hosted on.
Wow, that's scary. Did you know that Facebook has a database of every location you've logged in from?
Consider, by default apache logs have IP address, and IP address approximately equals location. Actually, that article probably means IP when they say "geographic location".
