A part of the job, nonetheless. I can only hope they were provided counselling during their time working at meta. If not, this would be a major oversight by the company. There are certain people for this job... Not one for everyone, obviously.

I couldn’t be a social media moderator; seeing those kinds of graphic images would probably make me go insane or commit suicide. It’s awful that these people have to do this job and Facebook et al should be giving them as much support as they need. Most days I think we should shut down all social media.

It's been said before, but this is the sort of job that it would be great if AI could take over from humans. Nobody should have to see such horrific things.

Excellent point. Hopefully it will as it seems like its in the scope of AI capability.
