The tools used to screen such [sexually explicit] comments, volunteer moderators told the BBC, haven’t been working properly for over a year, allowing between 50,000 and 100,000 “predatory” accounts to remain on YouTube.
That's not disturbing at all. I mean it's not like Youtube is part of one of the biggest companies in the world, and could easily afford to fix an issue like this, right?
Besides, as highlighted elsewhere, Youtube quickly claimed this was a tiny problem, whereas even just a quick search shows that this is an issue across a ton of accounts, and with a looooot more videos than the 150,000 they've deleted so far. If these accounts are able to programmatically make dozens of new videos a week (or a day), this feels like mopping up the ocean. Of shit.
