I know that's the situation. What I'm trying to say is this: that list (breastfeeding, breast cancer or children with birth defects, joking about rape, violence...) is just going to grow longer, and longer, and longer... In the article it says: "... Facebook says it will process more complaints and will train its staff of reviewers ...". That means they are doing a big part of the censoring MANUALLY! You will NEVER be able to remove garbage faster than people creating it.

Sure, but that's got nothing to do with the part I quoted: you asked why they can be "held accountable" (for extremely loose definitions of "held" and "accountable") for everything their users say, and the answer is: because they decided to police what their users say, once they start policing they're held accountable for what they police and how they police it. > That means they are doing a big part of the censoring MANUALLY! Yes? > You will NEVER be able to remove garbage faster than people creating it. You probably won't do it automatically either, at least not without significant collateral damages anyway (see: Google). And as far as I know, Facebook mostly acts on reports (which happens to be the way HN works as well), they generally don't remove content preemptively.
