Below are a couple of recent screencaps. Given Facebook's size and scope, there will probably always be pedophile users. Overall, though, they seem fewer and less blatant than they were a year and a half ago. Facebook's gotten more aggressive about reporting them and kicking them off, and it's possible that the higher default privacy settings have also helped. If it's harder for a cranky blogger to find them, it's probably also harder for child pornography collectors to find each other.
Twitter has also had problems with these people, as have other social networks. For the most part, the people using Facebook to trade child pornography haven't seemed too bright, and a number of them who've lived in countries that would actually do something about it have been arrested. Child pornography is a big problem, and steadily chipping away at it may be the best anyone can do.
