Facebook has released the latest figures in its efforts to remove harmful content from its platforms.
They reveal 11.6 million pieces of content related to child nudity and child sexual exploitation were taken down between July and September 2019.
For the first time, Facebook is also releasing figures for Instagram and including numbers for posts related to suicide and self-harm.
This follows a public outcry over the death of 14-year-old Molly Russell.
The teenager killed herself in 2017 and her father then found large amounts of graphic material about self-harm and suicide on her Instagram account.
