That's what the Chinese do. And a lot more than "dozens."
There are farms of 10s of thousands of India/Chinese workers at sites that read each flagged post on FB/Twitter and block or allow just that post, or shadow/fully ban the user. This isn’t really that hidden either.
So Twitter just has these hundreds or thousands of people sitting around doing whatever so they can immediately spring into action when some big story comes along that they don’t want to trend? No way. The overhead would be financially ruinous.
Facebook had more than 30,000 employees working on safety and security — about half of whom were content moderators.

Here is a racist joke. Here is a man having sex with a farm animal. Here is a graphic video of murder recorded by a drug cartel.
Miguel is very good at his job. He will take the correct action on each of these posts, striving to purge Facebook of its worst content while protecting the maximum amount of legitimate (if uncomfortable) speech. He will spend less than 30 seconds on each item, and he will do this up to 400 times a day.
Not a position I would wish on anyone.
This is like working in the nine circles of hell.
