On a site like YouTube there is 72 hours of video uploaded per second. There is likely some child porn, death threats, suicide stuff, etc. It would be impossible for YouTube to have that amount of video checked. They would need to pay 21000+ employees to do that. If somebody uploads to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. that company they uploaded it to technically owns the uploaded copy of the video. If YouTube had child porn on it, even if they didn't put it up intentionally they still host it. How doesn't YouTube and other sites where users upload there own content constantly get sued for hosting this kind of unintended content?

YouTube is much smarter than you might think.

Have you ever found any porn, much less kiddie porn their site?

If porn were ever uploaded to any of the sites, they'd take it down before it became a problem.

How?

They have bots scanning their sites 24/7; 365!
