The settlement will cover more than 10,000 current and former content moderators in California, Arizona, Texas and Florida, who can receive US$1,000 for medical screening as well as additional payments for treatment if required, the lawyers said.
Facebook will also provide on-site coaching and tools that allow the moderators more control over how they view the images to mitigate their exposure to the material, according to the proposed settlement. “We are so pleased that Facebook worked with us to create an unprecedented programme to help people performing work that was unimaginable even a few years ago,” Steve Williams, one of the attorneys representing the moderators, said in Tuesday’s statement. “The harm that can be suffered from this work is real and severe.
The settlement comes after many content moderators were sidelined by the pandemic because of security and privacy concerns over the work being done from home. Facebook has been slowly bringing the moderators back online but the company is investing more in artificial intelligence over the long term than in humans. – Bloomberg
Don’t the people go through the job details, interview and sign a contract before go into a job? Is it not viewing and moderate content a job for a content moderator? Should have just be a kindergarten teacher if he/she wants to look only happy and innocent content every day.
