Ask HN: Legality of using M Turk to filter content
Perhaps I should ask a lawyer this, but I'm sure someone on HN must have already faced this issue and figured it out. Here it is:
Suppose I'm running a social network site and users are allowed to upload photos. The site needs to filter for adult content, but we lack the resources to do so ourselves. This seems like a perfect application for M. Turk. Now, are there any potential legal issues for this (since the photos presented to the M. Turk-ers are user uploaded photos.)
Thanks!
