Given how amazingly good Google is at filtering or identifying content when it benefits them to do so (e.g. Content ID, and I have never seen anything pornographic break through YouTube's filters), I must believe that it would be extremely easy for them to implement the fix you desire.

Edit: Hmmm, assuming the app that you are talking about is freakin' Wikipedia, I'm assuming that if the Wikimedia can't get anyone from Google to pay attention that there is no hope for the rest of us.

Nope, it's not the Wikipedia app, but a different side project. Although there's also no shortage of sketchy third-party "wiki reader" apps that are basically ad delivery systems.

Content ID? The one where regularly stories break of it misidentifying things?

> and I have never seen anything pornographic break through YouTube's filters)

I have. But to be fair, that was 2 or 3 years ago.

Could you link to such a story?

I usually read that a few seconds were claimed here or there. ContentID probably identified the part correctly, but people want to argue fair use.

And then there are the stories where it turns out the sample used was not cleared, etc.

You mean unintentionally, right? Because you only have to search for "full adult movie" to find a bunch.
