Have you ever tried to automatically prune content? It's nearly if not completely impossible.

On the other hand, if it actually is easy for you, then you could make a LOT of money as a contractor. :)

Define "pretty easy". How is FB supposed to know if something is inappropriate for you?

It's pretty easy to state that on Hacker News. It just takes a few keypresses.
