Not an expert, but I've worked with large companies that used humans to filter user content. Either they were breaking the law en masse deliberately or there is a safe harbor for doing manual filtering.
Again, I don't know the answer, but I'm very skeptical that it's always illegal to manually filter user content. Presumably swift deletion (and cache purging, if possible), reporting and record-keeping would be important. Although that does raise the issue of how you preserve evidence for police to take action if you delete it immediately... geez this is such a landmine.
- MrStonedOne 8y agoThere is an affirmative defence in most jurisdictions for reporting cp you come in contact with.
- bertil 8y agoNot an expert either, but I believe that once it’s flagged as (likely to be) CP, you are not meant to open it. Reviewing content en masse is obviously OK -- but I would not recommend you do that without a PhotoDNA first.
