because detecting nudity is a much much easier problem.

- bjourne 8y agoPray tell, why on earth would detecting porn be easier than copyrigtht infringement?
- Walf 8y agoNudity is visually detectable, it's in front of the camera. Attributing ownership of content the same way is like trying to guess the CEO of a cereal company by looking at the cartoon characters on the box.
- bjourne 8y agoYou're flailing wildly. YouTube of course contains lots and lots of nudity, it is porn that it doesn't feature.
- Walf 8y agoFlailing wildly?! Ha! What is it, exactly you think their algorithms do besides detecting sexually explicit imagery? You know it's mostly machines that are flagging videos for review before a human decides whether it's porn or not, right?
- realusername 8y agoBecause there's billions of copyright materials without any common point, even some of them where the ownership is unknown or hard to trace whereas detecting porn is a mostly solved machine learning problem you can even build yourself.
