Facebook piracy

So i noticed that Facebook doesn't take down unauthorized copyright content uploaded by users (youtube finds a way locate and delete files that infringe copyrights). What's fb's policy on it? Are they taking any actions to protect copyrights?

    Youtube does that voluntarily. And their system also has no regard for fair use.

    Facebook can't be forced into deleting stuff on their own, since they are not responsible for the user content. Unless you send a DMCA for it...
