"Once content has been determined to be illegal, extremist or a violation of their terms of service, there is absolutely no reason why, within a relatively short period of time, this content can't be eliminated automatically at the point of upload," said Hany Farid, a computer science professor at the University of California at Berkeley's School of Information."We've had the technology to do this for years.
"There are so many ways to trick computers," said Rasty Turek, chief executive officer of Pex, a startup that builds a competing technology to YouTube's Content ID."It's whack-a-mole".
