Facebook has decided to act as the proxy and archivist for a large portion of the world's social communication. As part of that work, they have personally taken on the responsibility of moderating all social communication going through their platform. As you point out, making decisions about what people should and should not be allowed to say at the scale Facebook is attempting would require an impractical workforce. There is absolutely no way Facebook's approach to communication is scalable. It's not financially viable. It's not ethically viable. It's not morally viable. It's not legally viable. It's not just a Facebook problem. Many platforms for social communication aren't really viable at the scale they're trying to operate. I'm skeptical that a global-scale AI working in the shadows is going to be a viable solution here. Each user, and each community's, definition of "desired moderation" is different. As open-source AI improves, my hope is we start seeing LLMs capable of being trained against your personal moderation actions on an ongoing basis. Your LLM decides what content you want to see, and what content you don't. And, instead of it just "disappearing" when your LLM assistant moderates it, the content is hidden but still available for you to review and correct its moderation decisions.
