It's a hard problem, because the alternative to algorithmic solutions is human solutions, which people are quite unhappy with as well. Facebook for example has gotten a ton of negative press over the years for their human content moderators.

The problem with facebook isn't that they use humans, it's that they treat them very poorly. Treat people with dignity and respect, and the good press will follow.
In this space, it doesn't matter how many times you get it right, just how many times you got it wrong.

Also, it was probably a bad idea for Google and Facebook to be so cavalier while they destroyed print advertising (i.e. the press).

Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel, as they say.
