It's so overwhelming that Facebook is looking to hire an additional 3,000 employees to deal with the 54,000 instances of porn that gets posted on the social media site each month.

"Keeping people on Facebook safe is the most important thing we do," said Monika Bickert, head of global policy management at Facebook. "We work hard to make Facebook as safe as possible while enabling free speech."

The site has more than 1 billion people logging on each day. So the social media giant is also employing "image-matching" software to help get the content off the site. The hiring of 3,000 new employees comes with the 4,500 that already monitor the site.

What they are dealing with runs the gamut from revenge pornography to "sextortion."
