FB Mods Have PTSD

The Trauma Floor
The secret lives of Facebook moderators in America

"The video depicts a man being murdered. Someone is stabbing him, dozens of times, while he screams and begs for his life. Chloe’s job is to tell the room whether this post should be removed."

"the employees described a workplace that is perpetually teetering on the brink of chaos. It is an environment where workers cope by telling dark jokes about committing suicide, then smoke weed during breaks to numb their emotions"

The moderators told me it’s a place where the conspiracy videos and memes that they see each day gradually lead them to embrace fringe views. One auditor walks the floor promoting the idea that the Earth is flat. A former employee told me he has begun to question certain aspects of the Holocaust. Another former employee, who told me he has mapped every escape route out of his house and sleeps with a gun at his side, said: “I no longer believe 9/11 was a terrorist attack.”

“We were doing something that was darkening our soul — or whatever you call it,” he says. “What else do you do at that point? The one thing that makes us laugh is actually damaging us. I had to watch myself when I was joking around in public. I would accidentally say [offensive] things all the time — and then be like, Oh shit, I’m at the grocery store. I cannot be talking like this.”

SJW clowns have a terrifying brush with reality

It would be funny if they were paid better. I have been in break rooms in hospitals with staff and they have the same dark humor. Pharmacist can be much the same. Cops and firefighters I am sure are the same way. They have to cope with some bad, evil, shit.

I would not be at all surprised that people employed to police content on social networks have seen such horrific shit they need therapy.

How much child porn do you have to see before becoming a real life Rorschach and killing pedos?

The difference with day firefighters and surgeons or even pharmacists is that those people I'd imagine have more agency in their lives day to day than a damn Facebook moderator , I mean think about what a guy like that actually does for a living vs watching and reading people's perversions and fantasies expressed online. What s surreal nightmare that would be.

That would probably be my coping mechanism.

Maybe FB is really just using these people as lab rats to see what lies they can push and how much until people believe it. Like the one that says they believe 9/11 was not a terrorist attack.

Conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories.

I like where this thread is going.

What a bunch of losers. You know those degenerate animals are probably working that job so they can see the kiddie porn. AIDSbook pushes far more narratives than those they delete. Also, PTSD from 9/11 truther vids?Gimme a break. Talk to some veterans who actually saw combat. Fucking retarded.
