I shared this documentary "The Cleaners" back in 2018. About the out-sourcing of #Facebook moderation to the Global South (see also my posts about Kenya).

People located in the Netherlands can watch it (between 20h-6h) here:

(Content warning for all the shit you can think of, although not directly on screen)
Unfortunately it's still not globally freely available, although you can rent it on various places and if you can't/want to pay for it, there are probably also torrents. 🤷🏻♀️
This was not only about #Facebook, but also #Youtube, #Twitter, #Instagram, etc. Underpaid people with almost no labour rights in the Global South watching the whole day to the dirt the Western 'society' is producing. Because we want to go on big tech corporate social media, those people need to suffer. Now also for AI training. Why don't people realize that?! If you want social media, you should clean up your own mess!
