the unseen terror of a content management farm
I can’t stop thinking about this article about the content management “farms” contracted by Facebook. It’s another example of how technology that is supposed to bring closer people together and save time leaves a wake of absolute human exploitation and misery in its wake. Not only do these people have to look at the absolute dregs of humanity every day, but they are exploited and treated as subhuman.
My initial report focused on Phoenix, where workers told me that they had begun to embrace fringe views after continuously being exposed to conspiracy theories at work. One brought a gun to work to protect himself against the possibility of a fired employee returning to the office seeking vengeance. Others told me they are haunted by visions of the images and videos they saw during their time on the job.
