I censored the name of the editor he cc’d, which I guess was supposed to be a power move? anyone who has received something similar, feel free to reach out. Here’s the email I received about Green Book from one of the producers. It’s terrifying for me to see what these huge regimented armies of moderators are being made to face on a daily basis. My own days of moderation were a walk in the park in comparison. While there are crimes and cruelties etched into my brain from what I saw, the contracted workers had to bear the brunt of it. Yet we weren’t even the front line-a similar contract company, like Cognizant, made the first pass at the worst of the material. Our training was insufficient, any counseling or support nonexistent. I’ve seen more things that I will never be able to unsee than I care to recount. To me it feels personal: years ago, I spent more than a year in a similar role. The article is a fascinating and harrowing read.
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.” A former employee told me he has begun to question certain aspects of the Holocaust. One auditor walks the floor promoting the idea that the Earth is flat. 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. It’s a place where, in stark contrast to the perks lavished on Facebook employees, team leaders micromanage content moderators’ every bathroom and prayer break where employees, desperate for a dopamine rush amid the misery, have been found having sex inside stairwells and a room reserved for lactating mothers where people develop severe anxiety while still in training, and continue to struggle with trauma symptoms long after they leave and where the counseling that Cognizant offers them ends the moment they quit - or are simply let go.
