I'm not sure about video, but we are no longer in an era when manual moderation is necessary. Certainly for text, moderation for child safety could be as easy as taking the written instructions currently given to human moderators and having an LLM interpreter (only needs to output a few bits of information) do the same job.

That's great, but can your LLM remove everything harmful? If not, you're still liable for that one piece of content that it missed under this interpretation.

There are two questions - one is "should social media companies be globally immune from liability for any algorithmic decisions" which this case says "no". Then there is "in any given case, is the social media company guilty of the harm of which it is accused". Outcomes for that would evolve over time (and I would hope for clarifying legislation as well).
