- In an office in India, a cadre of Internet moderators ensures that social media sites are not taken over by bots, scammers, and pornographers. The Moderators shows the humans behind content moderation, taking viewers into the training process that workers go through in order to become social media’s monitors.

I'm a content moderator. I do in fact see the worst the internet has to offer and at the end of the day you are mentally exhausted but you have to keep in mind, there are a lot of jobs like this where people are exposed day in and day out to the worst humanity has to offer. A lot quit, a lot can't stomach it, and it changes some people's attitudes about the world, but as with this job or any other in the same boat, someone has to do it. I compartmentalize my job and at the end of the day I unplug and go see the beauty of the world. I go hang out with my friends and people who have love and kindness in their hearts and I think of all those people whom I am helping not see what I have to see. Anyone who's had a job like this gets that. The minute you start believing that there is no good left in the world because of what you do, that's when you lose it and lose touch because the world will never be all good or all bad---it's a mix of both, but I'm doing my little part in the grand scheme of things to help push the line to add more good back into the world for others.
What are you a moderator for?
Can u guide me how can I get job as content moderate how can I apply
HOW DO I REPORT MY MODERATOR ON INSTRAGRAM
Thank you for your service to humanity. What you have said shows that you have a strong heart and that you are able to set your own boundaries and know what's good and bad. Keep up being who you are my friend.
Used to be a game content moderator, although the companies remind you constantly this is “normal customer service” and other moderators encourage “other people have it worse let’s be thankful” the type of systematic apathy common in the industry today should have no excuse. Most companies are sending young people eager to get a job in games or tech companies into dealing with mental war zone like imagery and comments without any preparation or strategy when they undergo trauma. This should change, when moderators become jaded and tired they obviously have less sympathy for angry users threatening them. It’s a cycle of madness and apathy that hurts people on the internet. Moderators would be doing everyone a favor by insisting on better treatment for themselves by their companies.
These people deserve massive bonuses. The long term effect is unknown sadly. And the worst part is they probably make a pittance.
it’s not unknown at all, there’s been a huge amount of people leaving moderator jobs with ptsd
These are special people for sure. God Bless them and keep their mental health intact. 🙏❤️
I am starting this job, in a few days. Wish me luck guys 😊
Compelling, to say the least. These style of documentaries offer the most accurate depictions of a story and issues surrounding it, because they never end with a clear message or a clear answer. In life, things are never black-and-white but fall in grey areas like these
A sensible, balanced and engaging piece of work - full credit to the producers.
I learnt something today, thank you :)
This is the kind of job that only psychopaths should do. At least then they would be doing the world a big favour. This job would be way too much for me, I’m too much of an empath. I wouldn’t wanna have to look at animal abuse and child porn throughout my whole entire shifts. Humanity is sick.
loads of us are just bored teenagers that send these around calm down mate lmao
You are being unfair. This job is for the people who have enough guts to deal with that... because someone has to do it in order to prevent others from seeing it. So be thankful to thoose "psychos".
Just because you ignore doesn't mean that doesn't happen. You can live your life ignoring upsetting situations, they will nevertheless occurr. It's because I've empathy that I can see how much impact those psychos can have in my or your life on a daily basis. So be more respectful and try to understand who are the real psychos. Thoose who ignore this crazy world or whom wants to fight against it?

Probably one of the sickest job on earth. Cleaning up all the crazy shit this sick civilization has to share on line. I wonder how they can sleep at night while digesting and processing all these horror in their mind. O_O
You don't need to work on such thing if you are already conscient of what human kind can do.
@@ricardopereirafigueira5017 hi can i ask you something
Proper law enforcement must be involved. When they see horrible, illegal things they should be turned over to law enforcement, who then must follow up, doing their best to track down the perpetrators and rescue the people and animals being victimized, if at all possible.
If not, then these companies are aiding and abetting the worst of criminals, and are responsible for those they leave unhelped.
If the moderators knew that they may well be helping the victims, as it absolutely should be set up, then they could live with the fact that they really are doing heroic work.
Now we know who decides what we see and what we don't. In another documentary about content moderators on the Philippines it was pointed out that NGOs who prosecute war crimes have a hard time because pictorial proof of atrocities are immediately deleted after being uploaded. There's many sides to it. I find it incredible that they only have 2 seconds to decide whether to delete a photo or not. What a tough job!
That's not really accurate and after some practice you don't really see the video or the photo, you look at it and your brain just look at the infraction. And you don't have only 2 sec. Some take 2 sec, some take 30. Depends on what you're watching. It's impossible to watch a video and take the same time to decide as you take on a meme.
As an American I oppose censorship but as a member of the international society I see the enormous need for it. It's all about perspective and a willingness to place oneself in the shoes of others.
Is there any culture that tolerates cp or nudity for all ages? It's not about censorship or other cultures at all! It's about common sense for the greater good of everyone.
Its too bad that Moderators don't get paid much for their hard work.
Thanks to all moderators that we can smoothly watch internet.
Amazing Documentary about Social Media Moderator, I've an interview tomorrow and honestly i learn so much with this, Thank you
Nice content and very much informative.
One suggestion, do add names of the people who have been shown in the documentry along with the off screen staff.
disagree. the piece is cleaner without. bold too.
Now, I fully understand what content moderator was, even though in this video the scenario isn't that bad as what I expected. It showed only minimal nudity images not violent videos. I think I am ready to accept this kind of job and be challenged. I have incoming interviews this weekday from one of the BPO companies here in the Philippines. I hope I could pass the interview and get this quite rare job.
Really? .... I guess that is why im also here, searching what is the job really is.
Baboon And Friends ninja ni RVV Music Studio so did you pass?
HI! Kamusta po? Were you able to get the job?
Did you got the job?
Did you get the job
I am so glad to be a content moderator
This is another A+ documentary.
This is very informative, I learned a lot today, Thank you so much ✨
how can I get more information about this job.
Dear god, is it too late to pull the plug on the human race? Seriously! But what a brilliant documentary - in equal measure it is disturbing and depressing. Things that cannot be unseen. These employees must suffer PTSD after day 1... Talk about 'emotional labour', this is off the scale - all so that some freak can get their kicks on the internet. Despair.
yeah, one woman is suing Facebook because the conditions for the moderators are augmenting the risks for PTSD
Loool, shut up, you clearly quit school after day 1, and are missing some friends from down under ---> 8=D
11:11 those guys are thinking "...hey I'm liken this job so far!"
how these moderators process all the shit they see on everyday basis?
Because they have to eat and they need money that they earn from it...
Check out recent news about Content Moderator life of Facebook. They all face PTSD.
do you have notions off life? That's how they deal with that. Isn't new, it's only more clear.
Very good job 👏👏👏 and report
I got really interested in this topic after bbc radio 4 digital human
That sounds really cool! Do you have a link to that/the title of the episode? I'd love to check it out!
th-cam.com/video/cHGbWn6iwHw/w-d-xo.html
The video should've started from 3:00 and the blanks scenes should've been filled by text or a voice.
I am not saying that it is a bad video, but as a video about internet... this video doesn't understand the value of people's time.
You have to understand what a viewer wants. They want it good and they want it quicker

Thank you Team for creating this type of content, you guys are doing a great job.
Can someone find such a job for me. Where should I contact for this job? If anyone can then please tell me.
I have just applied for this role. Although I am a bit amazed at how content moderation has evolved with the help of AI. And want to know exactly up to which level there is graphic and explicit content posted by people. Honestly these kinda explicit content doesn't affect me. What affects me is people showing empathy and Humanity these days. I barely get shocked knowing things like this happen all around the internet.
Firstly I don't know about the moderation. thank you for the explanation. I'm also searching for a job in moderation
The kind of human resource handling this extremely sensitive issue is bizzare
I was offered a content moderator role. Should I take it?
If it is okey with you take it. You will see torture, terrorism, child pornography and ponography, child abuse and animal abuse, and more and more.
Good people cleaning our internet from all the harms
Props for using the image from Story of O, though - great film, great soundtrack, great book.
Who is here from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver?
Here :D
That's cool, man! Do you have a link to that segment? i wanna check it out!
What do content moderators go on to do after being moderators. What are the career prospects?
You will see psychologists as you now have PTSD for life and nightmares because of horrors beyond your comprehension. Thank you "social" media...
its a sick f**king world
How can we get this job
. I quit but somehow I still have nightmares about it. Is an inhumane job, my life is not the same.
I want know that Is this job is good or bad. Because accenture offer me this job and I accepted offer. I do or not? Anyone reply me

What about they retrace people who posts that kind of nasty shit online and make them forcefully do time by helping Facebook and other social medias to moderate their medias? Then we fine them or put them in jail so they don't do it again.

@@vijayroy6358 wow
Today is my interview
Is this secretly recorded or what ?
Oh man, I´ll start in a position as content moderator, next month, so now I feel pretty scary...
A person doing this job should work less hours and paid more than full
Very interesting indeed eh, nice .
The German TH-camr "MineZoneGermany" mentioned this Video in one of his Videos.
“Butt part”
I wish we had these jobs in America!
We have these jobs too.
N 10SZ These jobs exist in many places, including America. Are you really okay with seeing torture, child porn, animal torture, etcetera? 🤔 I'm afraid something must be really wrong if none of these things affect you in any way..
Usually everybody has a trigger. Some give up before the first month others learn how to deal with that in a very detached way like watching a movie and eating popcorn. It's not that they are crazy or something, they just learn how to build a wall. There are jobs like this all over the world: America, Asia, Europe ( not Africa, i think). Usually are very highly educated people with many languages skills ... at least as far as i know.
Some people learn how to build a wall or process it, some people leave or develop PTSD. It's like in any job involving violence.
@@Anna133199 Then that makes him the perfect candidate for the job
A company named "Teleperformance" is making TikTok content moderation in Tunisia , and who work there are getting paid 0.75$ an hour. More than 1000 people working 24/7 to moderate tiktok videos for the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. I don't know when this modern slavery gonna end
The office (India)
Exporting depravity. People who never knew of these things being slimed by the sickness of the “developed “ world. Yes, you know the posters are mostly from so called “developed nations.” I am sure these workers could be contributing so much more to humanity, but sadly this is the work we ask them to do. May they be protected and blessed. Gatekeepers protecting society. Cleaning up the physic mess.
this job is not gonna last long , i think pretty soon AI will replace this
There are the reasons why we don't see tons of shit in the Internet

This is why machine learning may help. Bots need to take down this content. Sad though, is that real people still do these things, hurting animals, abuse etc.
Human beings are the worst species.
No doubt these guys have seen my spicy memes.
Gtfoh
Lmao
Thank you, John Oliver, for the comedic gold
anyone pls help me be part of this industry
This is the same role " market specialist at Facebook " does and they are paid 1 lac per month
Nice...I would like to join this job...I am so excited❤️
Weirdo
Seems like a cool job would do it.
You’re weird
@@seleneaguilar5875 That comment was 2 years ago. I still stand by it.
It's disgusting snd inhumane that people have to wade through extremely disturbing content - there should be A1 technology to do this but whilst there isn't they should be paid a fortune for their endeavours and receive daily at work counselling .
grat help for further
Who needs the dark web when there are Facebook moderator jobs.
Please pay more salary or this ki nd job plz
sir i am intrested i m video content moderator ph web site
🙏🏼🥺🙏🏼
someone offer me a job of content moderator. now i have second thoughts
Who the fuck checks the content moderators if they are doing their job right? If i worked there, i would just randomly choose what's appropriate and what's not, would just target the quota.
That is hard because sometimes you have to watch the whole video
I feel sorry for these people, having to do this all day everyday , especially people from their culture and religious traditions for low pay , they don't mention the political things they have to moderate, it's a sad occupation for these people who have to poison their minds all day everyday..I'm against censorship so I'm not in favour of any of this. I do feel sorry for these people, doing the dirty work for westerners.
All those people today is without job. AI do this and do better.
Looks like the same folks that keep calling about my SSN being cancelled.
This place doesn't look like office
It's like Krishna cottage devil apartment
