> Content moderation has been ~solved as well. I strongly disagree. Pornhub just purged 10 million videos because they couldn't moderate out child porn and rape videos. There's terrible content all over Facebook - Using Facebook's own numbers ~750,000 instances of "child nudity and sexual exploitation" were reported by users before being removed in Q3 2020. https://transparency.facebook.com/community-standards-enforcement#child-nudity-and-sexual-exploitation https://transparency.facebook.com/community-standards-enforc... - Facebook’s improved AI isn’t preventing harmful content from spreading https://venturebeat.com/2020/11/19/facebooks-improved-ai-isnt-preventing-harmful-content-from-spreading/ https://venturebeat.com/2020/11/19/facebooks-improved-ai-isn... - Despite Facebook ban on Holocaust denial, it’s still easy to find https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/despite-facebook-ban-on-holocaust-denial-its-still-easy-to-find-650292 https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/despite-facebook-ban-on-holoc...

PornHub is not a good example here. Reactive content moderation doesn't work for porn, because it's too hard to distinguish a positive from a negative. Content moderation for porn has probably been solved...by using a per-clearance model coupled with strong identity verification. > There's terrible content all over Facebook That's probably true, but the worst appears to be much harder to find. It's a lot easier to detect and ban all porn (especially if you can ban all nudity) than just certain heinous kinds of porn specifically. > - Facebook’s improved AI isn’t preventing harmful content from spreading https://venturebeat.com/2020/11/19/facebooks-improved-ai-isn https://venturebeat.com/2020/11/19/facebooks-improved-ai-isn... > - Despite Facebook ban on Holocaust denial, it’s still easy to find https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/despite-facebook-ban-on-holoc https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/despite-facebook-ban-on-holoc... Facebook seems to have more problems with trickier things, like hate speech, holocaust denial, and mis/disinformation. We have pretty good technology now for recognizing things in images, but we don't nearly technology that good for understanding the meaning of speech and text.
