I thought the same thing -- that once content is moderated, it should be trivial to block exactly the same content from being posted and moderated again. What a waste.
- Nasrudith 7y agoThe problem is actual use and context sensitivity. Since if they let historic signifiant images get flat banned they also look like big bad idiots trying to memory hole history for blocking say death camp images while still having to ban asshats who post it and say "Not enough." Neither the text nor the image themselves would be ban worthy but in combination it is boot-worthy. Extrapolating has Scunthorpe problem issues.
- LinuxBender 7y agoThe content may get modified quite a bit if censored though. A good example was the ChristChurch video. 4chan members modified it so many times, there are probably 4k-5k different iterations of it. NZ made a big deal about blocking it and arresting people for viewing it, making the demand for it significantly higher. There would have to be some really efficient and highly optimized ML to group all the variations together with a common label. AFAIK this does not exist for videos yet. The only partial mitigation that comes to mind would be if a small circle of your friends had to "approve" your video before people outside your circle could see it. That would put them on the hook for sharing bad things too. That might even reduce the psychological load on the moderators.
