  1. Having to hire moderators to filter content of extreme violence is what you get when you naively proclaim that you want to "connect people" and whatnot The lack of understanding of basic human traits in the Silicon Valley is baffling to me theverge.com/2019/6/19/18681845/facebook-moderator-interviews-video-trauma-ptsd-cognizant-tampa

      Also: the people who are hired to do this job should be compensated and taking care of accordingly to the damages this job is doing on their life. Facebook is a hugely profitable company, so they can definitely afford to take the best care of their contractors.
