The amount of CSAM online is completely out of control. There's already nation-level and sometimes international cooperation to catch any known images with perceptual hashing (think: the opposite of cryptographic hashing) as well as other automated and manual tools.
My impression is it would take Manhattan-Project levels of effort and funds to come close to "solving" this problem, especially without someone getting on a watchlist for having a telehealth-first primary care provider insurace plan and asking for advice on their toddler's chickenpox.
Human review? Meta has small armies worth of content moderators already that tend to burn out with psychological problems and have a suicide rate where you're probably better off going to fight in a real war. (This includes workers hired by Sama in Kenya, to link back to the OP.)
I will reluctantly grant Meta that they're up against a really hard problem here.

- bpt3 6mo agoThey created the concept of CSAM?
- freejazz 6mo agoNo, being so large that it's such a problem for them.
- bpt3 6mo agoSeems like your blame is quite misplaced.
- freejazz 6mo agoIt certainly is not.
- yladiz 6mo agoYeah, I agree with you. Of course, it’s not Meta’s blame that the CSAM actually exists, but calling the problem of filtering it extremely difficult at Meta’s scale is a problem that is easily solvable but fundamentally requires changing how the platform works, and would likely require a lot more money to be spent.
- freejazz 6mo agoExactly, no one put a gun to Meta's head and ordered them to make Facebook.
- bpt3 6mo agoSo what would satisfy you?
