they'd automatically remove my competitor's posting of their advertisement every time they posted it
Since that will be very rare case why not make that the human-required step?

Why would that be a "very rare" case? Facebook and Twitter have (or have had) hundreds of thousands of bots and constant abuses, why would this feature be rarely abused?
I'd assume that would be dealt with by an appeals process on the other end; if you post an image and it's flagged, you should be able to say "this is obviously not porn" and get it posted and the original false claimer should lose trust points.

Problem is it's significantly easier and faster to create noise than it is to clean up the noise. Dropping the up front review in favor of an appeals only system sounds impossible to handle at Facebook scale, IMO. Every time you shut someone's account down for losing too much trust, 10 others would have already replaced it.
Granted I really wish this was all done on the client so Facebook didn't gain access to the images themselves but I'm not sure of a good way around it to verify the image is something they should remove and not an abuse of the system.
