Unions on a global scale. A very interesting development.
I’m for it.
Yet, cynical me cannot help but wonder how the big platforms will react. How they’ll try to quash it, undoubtedly.
Not saying I’m pessimistic though!
I sincerely hope they just die. More likely they will just get rid of content moderation entirely.
In the current USA this might even ve an option.
Or they’ll try to use AI only. But these things are not intelligent and won’t be able to produce satisfying results but since everyone is following that hype rn they’ll probably spend a billion before they figure that out…
Of course, if moderation gets worse than it already is, either way, the platforms will evtl. be banned from many other countries, notably the EU.
Contract workers for Meta, TikTok, Google, and more are forming a global group to fight for better working conditions.
Try Reddit also, the moderators there don’t even get paid :(.
That’s their fault.
Jannies don’t deserve to get paid. They just want control over whatever narrative they want to push.
They don’t care as long as they hold power modding Especially there like power mods and supermods. The ones that hold ,500+subs with just 92 mods
The ones that hold ,500+subs with just 92 mods
Those probably get paid, one way or another.
The pressure to review thousands of horrific videos each day – beheadings, child abuse, torture – takes a devastating toll on our mental health
What could be a solution for dealing with that? I wouldn’t want to be exposed to that type of content even if I was paid to do so and had access to health support to deal with the aftermath every time.
On paper, it’s one of the uses for AI image recognition. It could reduce the amount that needs human review drastically.
In reality, Youtube’s partially automated system (to my knowledge the most robust one around) regularly flags highly stylized videogame violence as if it is real gore. It also has some very dumb workarounds like simply putting the violence more than 30 seconds into the video (which has concerning implications for its ability at filtering real gore).
