I think the problem there is that "you know it when you see it" scales poorly. Humans are (usually) reasonably good at handling "you know it when you see it" heuristics, even if there is disagreement on edge cases. But "you know it when you see it" is difficult to implement algorithmically, and handling content at the scale of Facebook requires that you have algorithmic processes in place to automatically handle most of the firehose.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoI think the problem there is that different communities have completely different standards for what pornography (or any other category) is, but Facebook is hoping that they'll all use the same Facebook. Scaling any one group's definition of pornography to the rest of the world won't work even if the technical aspects of scaling go perfectly. You have two (...billion) people who all "know it when they see it", but consistently make different judgements when shown the same content.
