I don't understand why on earth anyone would use Facebook as a platform for sharing this kind of content, they know It'll be removed and that Facebook is quite good at tracking you, so unless you're using a VM connected to a VPN with a browser soley for this content you'll have the police called on you?

It just doesn't make sense to me. Also, why is it that facebooks content moderators have to look at everything while Google just removed content and says nothing more about it? Does Google have more confidence in their AI while Facebook doesn't and therefore need people to manually check it? Or is it that there might be more content on Facebook uploaded that an AI would misinterpret as child abuse (baby photos and the likes that people seem so desperate to share on Facebook these days).

This podcast from last year answers all these questions. Although the answers are not encouraging...

Very eye-opening stuff: https://youtu.be/qv_hokG2oSo

They use a number of platforms for this but FB is quite aggressive about cracking down on it, unlike AWS among others who mostly turn a blind eye.
