#3To this day, I believe the best method for picking out these images is a human censor (with appropriate, company provided, counseling afterward).
Edit: No shortage of stock image reviewer jobs https://google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22image%20reviewer%22
I'm trying to find an interview of one of these people describing what it's like on the other end. It wasn't a pleasant story. These folks are employed by the likes of Facebook, Photobucket etc... Most are outsourced, obviously, and they all have very high turnover.

#4detecting all porn seems to be an almost impossible problem. Many kinds of advanced porn (BDSM, etc.) don't have much skin - often the actors are in latex, tied up, or whatever. It's obviously porn when you see it, but detecting it seems incredibly hard.
Detecting smurf-porn(1) (yes that's a thing...) is even harder since all the actors are blue.

At the cost of your mental health, sure.
I recall reading an article about the human workers who had this job at Google... they had crap benefits, crap pay, and no mental healthcare. As a result a lot of the people in the field had depression and other mental issues.
