This is a bad take. FB has taken the most action out of any big tech company in terms of hiring human moderators and investing in their AI auto-detection. It's nonsensical and lazy to claim that there aren't serious technical challenges involved with creating a perfect detection system, even for a company like Facebook.

you've got to feel for the human moderators though. Some of the content they have to watch, it's really the worst job possible. it's going to lead to a lot of PTSD. I think the easier solution would to just not have the features in the product.

No one has that kind of AI. It doesn't matter if you are a billion dollar company, the scientific innovation is nowhere close in the present day and age. Facebook is relying on deeplearning and machine learning, which is the current paradigm in computer science. This paradigm won't get us anywhere close to such a sophisticated object recognition for this kind of task, it performs abysmally at best.

I mean it’s not like YouTube has this problem solved either... are all tech companies just incompetent?
