These people don't make any individual decision. They have a word document in front of them with official guidelines for any case.

Yes, they have. If it were possible to fully automate the task, Facebook will not hire humans. From the article: "The moderators have to check posts that have been flagged up and make a snap judgement on whether they should be taken down.". Some videos are probably easy to identify, but the world is a scale of grays.
