  This is specialized advice for Journalists, I'd be interested to see how well content moderation teams are implementing the same advice

    At my former job (large search engine) until a couple of content moderators sued the company for damages related to PTSD, they did virtually nothing to protect their employees. The other management strategy was to just outsource to contract content moderators in the Phillipines, who presumably don't have the resources or legal framework to sue the parent company. It may be better now, but back then (7-8 years ago now) it was pretty terrible.

  Sometimes I wonder why companies like Facebook don't advertise for content moderation workers on sites populated by people who already like looking at that kind of thing. Of course the obvious answer is that those companies don't really give a damn whether their employees are damaged by their jobs or not.
