MySpace can't use MT for the task because every picture sent to MT would be a potential "OMG PORN ON MYSPACE FILM AT 11" story. They have to keep their screeners in-house to deal with potential publicity issues. Trust me, the MySpace people (as would any moderated community) would love to use MT for this stuff; moderation is no one's idea of a core competency.
- mrduncan 17y agoWhat is MT's policy on that sort of task - do their TOS allow for submitting pictures for screening (or similar things)? As a side note, this sounds like a potential hole in the market.
- guywithabike 17y agoContent moderation is one of the things that CrowdFlower does really well -- and yes, you can have workers search for adult content (At least on Mechanical Turk. I'm not sure about our other labor pools. In any case, you can definitely use CrowdFlower for filtering out adult content.) You'll probably want to make sure your job description mentions that, though! (I'm a front-end developer for CrowdFlower. I don't represent the company's views. Except in regards to bacon. I represent those.)
