I don’t see how anyone wins in this scenario.
If workers win: FB puts freeze on hiring moderation staff. PR benefits begin outweighing the labor costs, and there’s not enough moderation capacity to block the vile content from getting through.
If FB wins: Workers develop mental conditions, moderation staff quits from the job stress, and there’s lots of job churn and not enough moderators to fight the problem.

An individual might follow the thinking you’ve outlined, but’s corporation comprised of endless layers of competing management, personal fiefdoms, and a collective case of shortsighted, goal-oriented thinking will not. It doesn’t matter if this is terrible for FB as a whole entity, or moderators. The mods aren’t making the call, and the people who do are possibly more concerned with showing they can minimize a source of overhead that doesn’t immediately add to their bottom line.
