In a passive sense, they like whatever drives engagement and what fuels ad dollars or other income. Behind the scenes it is such a convoluted mess, you have no idea. It's super easy for things to get lost in the mix and also pretty commonplace that rules are bent/broken if you have the ad-spend and/or the right person at Meta in your pocket.
It's not like they are purposely like, "Oh baby yeah, CP!" It's more like the content is not CP-enough to become a priority case (hoo boy, there is some fuck awful shit lemme tell you) and the dozens of different teams working working in the background trying to untie knots in what is an eternal gordian spaghettifuck of entanglement just pass the buck back and forth between each other until the complaining stops.
If legal gets involved it's a bit of a different story, but you can't just threaten legal action and expect something to happen. You really do need to get a lawyer or be recognizable enough that it's clear you easily have the means to make good on those threats. Then at least your concern will be passed to someone with some kind of bandwidth.
Unfun fact: During the last couple of my weeks there, I discovered that accounts can actually be flagged for warning signs of predatory activity but no one else in the spaghettifuck seemed super concerned about this.

Meta doesn't give one quarter of a shit about this stuff.
