Is there some expectation that they sit and watch the whole thing end-to-end with headphones on? I'd think skipping around and finding a few frames would be more than enough to be like "nope, that's a bad one", flag it, and move on. I would think the police and prosecutors that follow up would have to see and document that stuff in way more detail, and nobody's talking about their PTSD. I'm not saying it's not bad, but I think the initial moderation flag has to be one of the least bad of all the people in the pipeline that will have to deal with those cases.

There’s no technical guarantee of such a threshold though

Uhm, it's actually super well known within law enforcement that law enforcement is emotionally exhausting, so much so that specific units are separated out and the officers rotated to avoid burnout. (Special victims Units, you may know them as)

The moving on is part of the threat. Dismissing one atrocity faster only means you get to the next one sooner. You have no agency over the inflow, and there's little evidence that what you're doing has an effect -- the stream never stops. Metrics for performance and benefit of the effort as a whole are hard to construct and communicate. As a moderator, it's just shitty shit often being done by shitty people, posted by other shitty people, again and again and again and again and again and again and again. There's no diseased root to hack off. And if you do happen to find one, another grows in its place -- a literal Medusa's head.

  I hadn't thought of it that way. I see your point now.
