      Here' a Facebook counselor arguing that being shot in the head is an opportunity for growth (Nobel prize, anyone?) so Facebook's poorly-paid content moderators, who view profoundly horrific stuff all day, should also see it as a chance at post-PTSD growth. https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18229714/cognizant-facebook-content-moderator-interviews-trauma-working-conditions-arizona …pic.twitter.com/37z6zl2bzB

      Meanwhile, these contractors watch people murdered and worse all day for $15 an hour (people who work at Facebook make about quarter of a million on average, iirc) and some of them have begun to buy into the conspiracies they are subjected to all day. Great way to run a company.pic.twitter.com/tO3J3ZLmmV

      The only Facebookers paid well seem to be the people who can automate and scale things (programmers/data-scientists) and those who can sell ads. The rest are expense centers and low-pay while the real costs are externalized onto societies.https://twitter.com/ItsTheBrandi/status/1100073825188892673 …

      I gotta assume Facebook doesn't pay well for counselors either.

          This current approach shows a limitation in their strategic thinking. If their engineering talent is so great, why not try this? They can test small, perfect it and scale.https://twitter.com/Victoria_in_SEA/status/1100073025959948289?s=20 …

          Has @facebook or @YouTube tried to default to the automated rejection of content, experimenting with the thresholds for suspicion? Risking some profits while placing the burden of proof on content providers and staffing an appeal process might be less costly ($ and human toll).

          Facebook removed this after I posted it there, I haven't been back to the site. I've always called them the "facebook gods". https://m.facebook.com/notes/mark-s-luckie/facebook-is-failing-its-black-employees-and-its-black-users/1931075116975013/ …
