"If kiddie porn, gore and animal cruelty flooded the network, it would cease to be a destination visited by people that advertisers will pay to reach."

I bet this can be done with ML and IA instead human power. Yet, FB uses their human cattle to censor conservative voices.

IA and ML work in bulk. But they misclassify things that a human easily can discern.

Think Tesla VS Google. Google wants a self-driving car, and that is not working yet. Tesla wants a car that helps you to drive and that is good enough.

It's order of magnitude easier to be almost always correct that to be correct all the time. And you only need one kiddie porn video in your Facebook feed to start to worry about Facebook.

It is matter of time this will happen. Even with self-driving cars. Using people to do this is just killing people. Think all the mental effort that has to be done to censor. Humans aren't that perfect and cannot oversee the entire FB daily activity.

Good luck! There's at least a billion dollars in it for you if you figure out how to do this.
