This podcast from last year answers all these questions. Although the answers are not encouraging...

They use a number of platforms for this but FB is quite aggressive about cracking down on it, unlike AWS among others who mostly turn a blind eye.
It just doesn't make sense to me. Also, why is it that facebooks content moderators have to look at everything while Google just removed content and says nothing more about it? Does Google have more confidence in their AI while Facebook doesn't and therefore need people to manually check it? Or is it that there might be more content on Facebook uploaded that an AI would misinterpret as child abuse (baby photos and the likes that people seem so desperate to share on Facebook these days).
