Facebook moderators break NDAs to expose working conditions
There seems to be a very distinct difference between employee classes. Management and high value tech employees are treated very well while moderators, gig workers etc are treated as &quot;human resources&quot;, quite literally.<p>It seems to me that they put companies like Cognizant between them and the exploited workers to deflect criticism as &quot;we didn&#x27;t know, we&#x27;ve been told by our partners that everything is great&quot;.<p>And on a technical level: if true, how can it be that FB needs the same videos and pictures to be moderated over and over? Are they not using any form of content id? Is developing such a system more expensive than running content moderation sites and then swiftly firing the burnt out moderators?<p>At what point do you become complicit if you&#x27;re working for Facebook?
