How do you categorise content though? You seem to think it's an easy problem..

  It doesn't have to be that complicated. Blacklist certain words and phrases. In this case, the people are being sent videos of a murder. Silently block all media content from non-whitelisted users, or any video that falls within a certain range of lengths. On a larger scale, content filtering rules can get more complicated and can be collaborated upon and shared. If we can do it with advertisements we can do it with offensive content.

    Blocking users is useless, they will make new account. Blocking words is useless, they will use fake words. Block on hash is useless, they will distort the video to generate new hash.

      I'm not sure any of the those points is true always, and at the very least will raise the bar slightly. Blocking on a naive hash wouldn't work, but there are more sophisticated video matching algorithm. If they're good enough to be applied to DMCA type content, this seems like a higher priority.
