I'm wondering what people expect these companies to do? Human moderators? Sure, but Meta products have approximately half the worlds population using them. At this scale it's pretty mind bogglingly difficult to moderate down everything. The ads/posts served per second is an astronomical number. This truly is a case where AI is the solution. There's no way to automate this at scale with humans. As AI gets better hopef…

Don’t they have like an 80% gross margin?
the amount of content posted per second to facebook is unfathomable . a quick google (just for a rough order of magnitude) says ~65,000 posts per second . add in instagram (which is worse for CSAM) and its gotta be at least double that. it would require millions on millions of employees, spread across ~every country. between the payroll, buildings and property, equipment, etc. i just dont think its possible at that s…
Certainly it’s not unreasonable to have them disprove that
And the scope could be further reduced by looking at posts with more then a few views.
> but as Wired notes, it relies on "automated tools" as part of the process, which may have been how the more than 50 ads TTP discovered made it through. Again, and again, and again, these technologies have proven ineffective to moderate content. User posted and otherwise. Until we have a legal mechanism in place to hold these companies meaningfully liable for this, it will not stop. Every single one of these has the…

Ad pipeline is malware at this point.
I've noticed on YouTube I see a lot of adult sexual ads. Things like home cleaning ads that have an unmistakable wood-grain image of fellatio. I've always wondered "how are these getting past the moderators?". I guess the answer is the obvious one: no one is moderating anything.
Somewhat related: open YouTube in an incognito window. Search something rather innocuous like "news". Click the first thing then go back to the main page. You have to watch through the ad. The amount of slop you will get suggested as soon as the algorithm warms up is nuts. The ad you are first served might also be slop. I mean AI generated video advertising overt bogus cures (a memorable one recently - "did you know…
All their fines are merely a cost of doing business, and they won't change their ways until the fines hurt.
For a lot of people, government regulation of this sort is not desirable, but at what point does someone need to drop the hammer to stop this?
36 million CSAM media removed in 2025? Why aren't millions of people in jail? Wtf?

For software, sometimes paying off that debt means getting rid of some of your features/code/stuff. i.e. there's another alternative to "let's AI the AI".
scale the business down. shrink the number of users. make less money.

It doesn't matter how many people are consuming the ads, it matters how many companies are placing the ads.
Let's not invent excuses for the trillion-dollar tech companies. Meta has plenty of money to put humans in the loop. It just chooses not to because some upper manager needs to buy a fifth house, or a third private island.
