Hey there :). Author here. It was a fun experiment to play around with some different strategies for adding content moderation to https://stream.new

Hive ended up being the one I landed on after trying Google Vision first (https://cloud.google.com/vision).

The other one I was looking at is Clarity.ai but I didn't get a chance to try that one yet.

stream.new seems really cool. However there is no account button to see all of your video URLs, or a download option for the video. If there was, I would probably make it my default (not sure if that is what you want)

Freenet/lbry/tor hidden sites all exists (and get used all the time) and it's 100% not required there at all. I hope at some point weird moralization of nudity will stop.

Exactly. The author does not make a sufficient case of why content moderation is necessary, and doesn't even touch client-side moderation.

Interesting article, I wonder how many UGC platforms got away with a third party solution to help their moderation. Feels like a core part of the business that would directly impact if it sinks or floats.

Hmmm. I’d say that the first thing people have in mind when UGC comes on the table. A bit like how nobody thinks lightly of storing credit card info, that’s part of the culture at this point I think.

> moralization of nudity

Even porn sites need moderation. Trying to stop sexual abuse and child pornography isn't weird moralization.

I'm not super familiar with the darkweb, but I assume that darkweb platforms also have active moderation, even if it's only to keep griefers out. Pornography is not the only use case for moderation.
