I wonder why you're the only skeptic in a forum that's usually skeptical about every post. Yes, you're right, this is not Google's MO. Google tend to look for software based solutions first and foremost before resorting to humans to solve problems. Recently Google have really been working on their voice transcription software and I imagine they could easily design a bot that scans subtitles and video frames for offensive content

In the past I would have agreed with your skepticism, but they just announced a huge human-powered review team:

I don't know based on that article if it's directly related, but they've obviously decided that they need serious human review teams.

Wow, my mind is blown. Makes me now feel like all those claims Google made in the past about how impractical hiring a customer care team would be for them was just pure BS.
