17 minutes to remove an offending stream, when literally millions of streams which are legitimate, sounds reasonable.

Gonna need a source on that. It’s impressive how fast they handled it when probably tens of thousands of people are reposting the content with the express intent to get around spam filters and avoid manual review.

Should Aus block sms, WhatsApp, and iMessage because the content gets re-shared there too? Should they block Google because you can find links to the content there?
