Except in both instances they acknowledged that it was the result of a 'Report' and then a human review, and not an algorithmic decision.

Please stop. Insults are not OK on Hacker News, and the need for civility when discussing controversial topics is greater, not lesser.

Given the sheer volume, I honestly wonder if a human does ever see it unless it's called out on Twitter (or whatever).

Even if it's flagged as an Iconic Image, you have to look at the context and see if it isn't posted by Jared from Subway.

Easier to auto flag than make a "waiting for glacially slow human" queue. (Esp. when one-million-moms has a protest van idling on the launch deck 24/7.)

Honestly, that person probably had a form that went:

[x] Children

[x] Naked

And the system did the rest.

I doubt they also have

[ ] Socially acceptable photo of naked children

on the form.

All you really need is a filter that recognizes a few select images and allow them through. And adding something to that list shouldn't take much time, effort, or controversy.
