I kind of think if you need hundreds of people looking at horrible content all day, then maybe your business is messed up and shouldn’t exist. Humans can survive without Facebook. It’s not like they’re hospice workers or criminal investigators. The only goal is to make Facebook shareholders rich.
- AlexandrB 7y agoI knew someone who did content moderation for BlackBerry (née RIM) back when BBM was huge. Any platform that enables communication can be used for illegal and horrible content. What’s changed is the fidelity. The worst I heard of on BBM at the time was images such as illicit/child pornography and human trafficking (via text). The ability to share high res video means the horror today is more visceral for those that have to watch it. Having said that, there’s no excuse for how Facebook and their subcontractors treat the people doing this job. They can easily afford to do better.
