Not to mention the Orwellian proposition: "delete the pic we deemed wrong so we can unban you". Apparently it's hard to just delete the offending pic, it's better to teach you a lesson and make you do it. There are four lights

I agree - it’s modern day struggle sessions. There are four lights.

It's even worse, "by deleting the pic, you agree with our decision that it was wrong.". "Yes master, this video of a cat video game is revenge porn and I'm sorry for posting it!"...

Personally I prefer getting a message "delete this please" instead of some of my messages/pictures/etc. silently disappearing without me noticing. Ideally, they would make the pic not available to other users, but still available to me, and notify me that my account will get banned in $N days. Ideally, during that phase there would be the option to pay some minor amount of money and ask to get a human moderator involved to review your case.

This would just become another revenue stream given enough time and changes of leadership around such a system. Treading a thin line on just how abusive they can be on the review process to extract money, it would be chock full of perverse incentives.

    yup. and as soon it becomes a revenue stream, there is no incentive to prevent false flagging

The torturer wanted him to say that there were five lights as that would be a signal that Picard was now accepting the torturer's reality. It's based off a concept from Orwell's 1984, where another torturer says that they can make someone believe 2 + 2 = 5. Also, Asch's “Line Experiment” where people conform against their own perception.

It's not censorship when you delete your own content.
