> Facebook not protecting content moderators from mental trauma
> Facebook in the past has said all of its content reviewers have access to mental health resources, including trained professionals onsite for both individual and group counseling, and they receive full health care benefits.
...which is it?
- klodolph 8y agoYou don’t get a free pass for injuring your workers just because you give them access to doctors, why would this be any different?
- jasonmaydie 8y agoBut that`s the job. It`s not like they were doing something else and this is a side effect. If i employ you to clean human feces, you can sure me for not providing adequate protection etc but you cant sure me because you had to deal with human feces. That is the job.
- morvita 8y agoYou've hit exactly what this lawsuit is about. They aren't saying "when I got a job as a content moderator I wasn't expecting to see traumatizing things", they're saying "my employer isn't providing adequate protections from the things I have to see as part of my job".
