  That they would gain knowledge of what the job is like, and so realise that their employees doing the work need a lot more support than they currently have.

    If it were Facebook employees that might even be the case. As the article states it's conveniently outsourced so they can just label it as a dollar expense without a guilty conscience.

    They probably know. And the secret is that there is no current solution. There is no automation to stop the sheer amount of dumb, sick, sad, horrifying, malignant and monstrous stuff being put up every minute from around the world. Frankly it could probably break social media the same way cancer could kill the tobacco industry. And this is simple moderation - ignoring newsworthiness, censorship, speech, propaganda and other issues this throws up. The best they probably hope is that the users forget about it. I mean seriously - what are publicly owned firms supposed to do?

      Open up the graph of people who post such content. The more offensive content you post, the less privacy on your Facebook account. Verification checkmarks allow one to screen out all content posted by unverified users, verification is available in return for a street address where FB mails a letter for a low-bandwidth 2FA. That's not so hard to fake, but also not hard to detect as fake when people deciding whether or not to filter out your content using shared blocklists.
