I'm not sure that headline says what it means. "Disabling content moderation" != "Automatically taking suspicious content offline without the usual human review".

The former sounds like it disabled all reviews and let everything stay up, which my impression disagrees with. https://t.co/QxijU960IP
It isn’t that these platforms don’t act—and quickly; it’s that they’re acting in the face of a tsunami of content. Their scale literally can’t be managed. https://t.co/C4bgifzRHx

youtube and google and facebook insist on using tech and ai alone to fix a problem that they easily have the capital to invest in HUMAN resources to solve. tech is ruining the world and they think the responsibility can be given to a robot. https://t.co/UmOE9yiWjp

Some questions I’d really like reporters to ask: “Did you ever consider shutting down all uploads until you could handle this situation?” And “what are you doing to put consequences to the people who violate your usage terms?” https://t.co/ii09ZbSc5w

Post says YouTube found it hard to moderate the video because users weren’t uploading it with his name.

Actually the shooter’s name was the only search I was running on YouTube in the 4 hours after the incident. And plenty of videos were being uploaded with the name. pic.twitter.com/SdZbxVYmo2
Should these platforms consider literally suspending real-time uploads completely during an event like this? I’m asking, not prescribing. But one commenter on this thread describes quarantine — that’s what you do in an outbreak, right? https://t.co/2e34V6KZvc

hmmm, if you were going to go down this path, what you'd do is pause uploads from "new" accts, or accts w policy strikes against them for previous CommunityStandards violations.

probability accts w long, productive histories are going to suddenly upload snuff films is near 0
This is basically a confession that YouTube is badly broken and that it is vulnerable to the same sort of takeover without radical changes. https://t.co/RmvmQ0VTN5

YouTube tells its side of the story to the Post from the Christchurch incident, but the company shares little detail. They only said “tens of thousands” of videos were uploaded. Even Facebook gave more stats. https://t.co/YcDTB3D22I

When YouTube took down a video of the New Zealand massacre, another would appear, as quickly as one per second. Inside the tech giant as it raced to contain "a tragedy almost designed for the purpose of going viral" https://t.co/6vqu0gwyyv @lizzadwoskin @craigtimberg

SCOOP: YouTube received an “unprecedented volume” of uploads, coming as quickly as 1 per second after New Zealand shooting. The company took drastic measures, including breaking its own functionality and disabling content moderation, to stop the bleeding. https://t.co/Sn7ENYQe35

You always hear "There's more work to be done." There's something to be said about how all these tech companies never relaly considered the worst actions that humans are capable of. https://t.co/aTkcM2twbd

Blocked sites include imageboards 4chan, Dissenter and Bitchute
That’s fascist Tommy Robinson not spreading his hate through those channels for now#edl #bnp #gi https://t.co/hEP7sNWkBj
ISPs should block all sites that won't remove Nazis. No platform nor safe harbour for fascists. https://t.co/ce42E0WvlU
