"Cool. I think he should piss on the 3rd rail."
¿What the hell? It's right there in the title, letting users OPT INTO IT as in not in the company's discretion forced upon everyone but allowing the user to set their tolerance levels. As long as it can be set to 0 why's this a bad thing?
Forcing moderation ONTO everyone is vehemently opposed.
¿Why the fuck would anyone want to prevent an AI from filtering out nazi/csam from their own feeds?
He's thought of a clever way to offload the responsibility/burden of the platform/service allowing speech on it. It allows people who don't want to see triggering content to not see it, without having to involve some third party that gets PTSD from filtering out all the vile shit humanity has to offer.
.... that's not moderation then dipshit. Blocking things from your personal feed is what we call a FILTER. It's not moderation.
Except the AI will still need to be trained on data, which requires the very labor you believe will be eliminated.
