Take that one shotgun suicide viral video incident on TikTok. Do you really think that should be shown to "a jury of random users" to decide whether it is safe to view?
Now imagine periodically reviewing videos like this being your 'duty'. In addition to scarring your users for life, they'd be leaving in droves, and you'd be inundated in lawsuits.
- IG_Semmelweiss 5y ago1) Tiktok - People actually curate this content already. The only difference is they are staff, and being paid. So maybetake the same compensation, and open it up at scale, so its an improved version of what is already happening for curation. Again, there are people in India paid to do this today. Its not like its not happening you just need to randomize it and spread out responsibility across a wider body. 2) This already happens in real life. I am sure there are mothers serving in jury pools about the murder of a toddler by a parent. The difference is that there are a number of things one could do to manage user preferences in such cases. Also, content would not be as pervasive as implied if penalties are effective at making borderline actors self-moderate, and permanently removing bad actors with real consequences (IP banning, public logs, etc).

- xvector 5y agoI’m sorry, you can’t seriously expect a platform to willingly show users potentially horrific content. That’s just disconnected from reality entirely.
