Interesting illustration of the issue. As the article shows, users are not merely passive consumers, but an active component in the moderation process because users are first to encounter the offensive material. Sure, users don't want to see that stuff, but believable that it's the companies more than users striving to remain blissful unaware of the horrific crap that moderators have to deal with. As you point out, the issue is the effect on the moderator, if it's as bad and widespread as portrayed it may rise to the level of a public health problem.
- justifier 11y agoyeah the difference is one of volume 10,000 individual users being inadvertently exposed to 1 piece of upsetting material could potentially mean 1 moderator then has to review 10,000 pieces of upsetting material also, the deluge mailroom syndrome, it just keeps coming honestly, computer vision is the only way to do this sort of moderation with any semblance of success and unfortunately i feel all of this human debris is just considered collateral damage until we get it functioning
