Linked – Facebook Sued for Traumatizing Content Moderators With Graphic Images

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

There is no question this is a difficult job.

“A class action alleges that Facebook Inc. fails to provide a safe workplace for content moderators who suffer from psychological trauma relating to their jobs of weeding out graphic content depicting child abuse, suicide and other violent events.”

The suit claims that Facebook didn’t take the normal steps to protect the moderators, and didn’t provide them with proper training and mental health resources. If true, that is inexcusable. We know how traumatic this type of work can be, putting people into that kind of role without the proper support in place is cruel.

I’d argue that no job is worth risking your health, but I don’t think Elon would see it that way.

I know he likes to brag about his work hours and how “No one ever changed the world working 40 hours per week”. Reading the science on how more mistake-prone employees working all of those long hours can be makes me wonder if Elon had taken a few hours off and gotten some rest maybe he doesn’t make that offer to buy Twitter and find himself in the mess he’s in.
