There's under a billion tweets per day. If you need to employ every human to moderate this you're saying it takes about 9 working days to moderate a single tweet.
If a moderator had to approve every tweet before it goes live, a terrible idea and yes, very expensive, I think a moderator could do a dozen per minute, rather than one every 72 hours like your logic implies.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoWe're taking the "every human on the planet" seriously instead of considering it hyperbole for "we would need to hire an insanely order of magnitude higher of people than are qualified for that job"? And humans aren't robots: you can't moderate dozens of tweets a minute and still meaningfully moderate. You can do that for maybe a few minutes before any pretense of moderation has been replaced by mindlessly clicking "okay" until the light turns on and the pellet-dispenser goes "ding!"
