Facebook takes down footage from child 'torture' report

Facebook wants to be in the news business, but it's finding that being a media platform is harder than it looks.

On Monday evening, ABC news program Four Corners delivered a report that detailed the shocking abuse of child detainees in the Northern Territory. It included footage of teenagers being tear gassed and one boy being bound in a manner that would not look out of place in Guantanamo Bay.  

The Australian government has already committed to an inquiry into the Northern Territory's juvenile detention system.
