The really disturbing part of this whole issue is the way that online platforms perform a form of torture arbitrage between buyers in wealthy countries that have stricter animal cruelty laws and suppliers in countries that lack them. The platforms are fully aware at this point, but seem to rely on the grey areas of free speech and multinationalism. In my opinion, it calls for some kind of third party independent review system since the platforms remain complicit and have an obvious conflict of interest in giving up ad revenue and highly engaged users.

I think this is about awareness, not ad revenue. I don't think any brand thinks torture porn videos are good for their image.

I think automated content moderation filters just aren't set up to detect animal abuse (the article gives an example with Gepini, where the AI doesn't quite seem to detect the depicted abuse). So removing videos needs manual reports, and that doesn't scale.

It detected the abuse perfectly, that was the point it was trying to make. They're not using it because they don't want to
