I feel sorry for whichever researchers are in charge of training and fine tuning those models.... ouch

Maybe they still have the content that got removed because of that, you might be able to train an AI just on that. That way they don't need to manually check it, it's already been done after all.

Exactly, and even if the content uploaded disagrees and request human oversight that is just one image that needs to be checked rather then all. Ai may even be able to blur parts of footage that are most brutal and extreme and create written transcripts of audio You dont need 4k resolution and hearable screaming to understand that someone is getting murderered or Raped.

True, didn't think about that. Blurring and transcripts are also way more reliable, so it will work correctly almost always.
