‘I quit my job as a content moderator. I can never go back to who I was before.’​

Alberto Cuadra worked as a content moderator at a video-streaming platform for just under a year, but he saw things he’ll never forget. He watched videos about murders and suicides, animal abuse and child abuse, sexual violence and teenage bullying — all so you didn’t have to. What shows up when you scroll through social media has been filtered through an army of tens of thousands of content moderators, who protect us at the risk of their own mental health.

There is no possible way I could do that job. I'd want to kill the people that produced much of the content. (It probably should be turned over to the FBI).

I read a story years ago about a woman on the FBI child porn task force talking about how hard it was to watch some of the video they have to watch.

This seems like an area where AI can be used to improve our current methods of content review.

At the same time, it's sad that humans are such sickos that they have to moderate all this bullshit.
 
Maybe they should hire pedos and pyschos to be content moderators -- the way companies hire hackers to defend themselves.
That way, the moderators will like their jobs and sane people won't suffer the mental distress.

My old roommate is a federal attorney that specializes in child exploitation. She can't took about much of what she does, but man I hope she has a good shrink.
