'The real-time nature of livestream “quickly balloons the sheer number of hours of content beyond the scope of what even a large company can do”, says Kevin Guo, chief executive of AI content moderation company Hive. “Even Facebook can’t possibly moderate that much.” His company is one of many racing to develop technology that can keep pace.'
