Content moderation is already a big problem. It's what I spend most of my time on nowadays. There is a lot of crazy shit getting uploaded. Abuse reports are flying in from all corners of the internet. I'm working on automated systems for processing them.

This prevents me from fully automating the e-mail responses.
