Facebook will pay $52M in settlement with moderators who developed PTSD

  It's not clear if they are paying 6k or 50k USD to affected moderators. Either isn't enough for a lifelong disease imo. Also, it's shitty that they are just paying American moderators. Shouldn't the verdict apply globally?

    yeah, it doesn't necessarily seem like a lot for those affected. that said, an upper band of $50k for damages feels like it could be enough to motivate content moderation orgs to take this stuff more seriously?

  This post will probably get downvoted but, why are we not using people who view the kind of stuff Facebook moderators have to go through, who do and would gladly view such materials for free? If they can make a living while enjoying themselves, and we can keep them away from normal society, that would be a win-win, no?

    Sounds like an outlet for allowing sharing of illegal material. Want to share cp? Just upload it to facebook? Want to watch children get abused? Just moderate Facebook!
