Facebook content moderators in Kenya call the work ‘torture.’ Their lawsuit may ripple worldwide

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — On the verge of tears, Nathan Nkunzimana recalled watching a video of a child being molested and another of a woman being killed.

Eight hours a day, his job as a content moderator for a Facebook contractor required him to look at horrors so the world wouldn’t have to. Some overwhelmed colleagues would scream or cry, he said.

maybe you need one of these...

it doesn't have to be clean cut.

i have my personal and important mails in my private mailbox, on my own domain. i use gmail as a backup and spam mail, i use it everywhere where i assume the mail can go to some spam database sooner or later.

so if i lost access to it one day, i would lose history of some confirmations from various eshops and shit like that, but nothing that would really cripple me.

i would definitely not put my family photos there and hope they stay there forever.

which are damn convient

and that's how they get us...

Yeah, guess I ovesimplified a bit. For anyone not aware, it was one report of racism towards a delivery driver.

ok, that doesn't even make sense, but it shows how wildly different and random the "reasons" can be.

i was thinking about the case where guy took a photo of some rash on his son's penis to send it to a doctor and some automated system flagged it as child pornography.

And people pay for this? to be advertised to?

no, people pay not to be advertised to, but you didn't really pay, did you?

can i introduce you to our lord and saviour, the ublock origin?

I hardly think a post by some random (me) is “raising the god of the apocalypse”.

i meant the hysterical "This. Is. Insane. We. Must. Stop. Launching. Shit. NOW. "

No-one has done the due diligence to know whether this is the case or not.

so lets maybe not raise the god of apocalypse. these satellites are really small objects, their volume is absolutely insignificant to the bullshit we create down here on the sea level...

what does she mean by "re-entered"? does it mean "burned in the atmosphere"? if so, i don't really see the problem.

former prosecutor should be extremely well-practiced and good at that.

Prosecutor vs. convicted felon. Who wins? Watch our brand new reality show!

Because we already know we don't want trump, any time spent on discussing that is time wasted. But time spent on discussing whether biden has a chance to actually defeat trump is time well spent, because otherwise we may end up with trump.
