Regarding Dunblane, it was mentioned as there IS a slight connection with one of the people refusing to do anything with Hollie's case and Dunblane.
We also understand that law firm Levy & McRae (who have and are still threatening the UKColumn) are the Legal Advisers to every mainstream newspaper in Scotland with the one exception of “The Scotsman”. It is also of interest to the public that Mr Peter Watson, head of litigation Levy & McRae boasts an interesting CV which includes Dunblane.
Picking up on the Hollie Greig abuse scandal, the highly regarded Scottish Law Reporter states the following
[Scottish] Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is linked to Lord Advocate’s choice of lawyers. Amazingly, it can now be revealed the Scottish Government’s current Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill has long standing ties to Levy & McRae, the same law firm used by the Lord Advocate to threaten media publication of the Hollie Greig case. Mr MacAskill is now known to have served his apprenticeship at Levy & McRae and also worked at the firm for a considerable time during his years as a solicitor.
Levy & McRae sent out legal threats to websites, newspapers, & online forums. Mr MacAskill could not be contacted for any comment on developments in the case, and officials said he would not answer any questions over his previous involvement with Levy & McRae. However, several MSPs alerted to the fact the Lord Advocate has used the same firm which once employed the Justice Secretary himself, have now vowed to investigate the goings on in the Hollie Greig case. An aide to an MSP today said there may well be a problem for the Justice Secretary since the Lord Advocate has used his old law firm, throwing up the question of conflict of interest and whether the intervention against the media by Levy & McRae “may have implied Scottish Government support for the law firm’s work on behalf of the Lord Advocate.

Was facebook wrong? Probably, but i think you have to understand this was probably more to counter any sort of libel or defamation suit from the named parties. You don't go naming names without proof.

but if you are aware of the case you will see this is the catch 22 - the proof can only be provided by those who were involved or are helping covering it up.

The OP asks, "the police refuse to investigate this (too many important people involved) so how can you get proof? how do you make people aware of the corruption behind the story?" while overlooking the obvious!!! There ARE plenty of places to make people aware...in fact, I don't know anything about this...you just got me interested. A viral internet campaign can be led by YOU, use a search engine to see how it's done!
Or would you rather just complain about Facebook; because in that case, the truth is, you really don't care about the story at all...
