Titolo delle (buona) notizia: Huge ruling in Kenyan court threatens global model of outsourced content moderation – and says that Facebook is the "true employer" of its key safety workers Link: https://www.foxglove.org.uk/2023/06/06/kenyan-court-ruling-outsourced-content-moderation-facebook/
I "moderatori di contenuti" sono persone come Kauna Malgwi: "Kauna Malgwi, 29, is among the former Sama workers whose lives are in limbo right now. A trained clinical psychologist, Malgwi worked at Sama for four years, starting in 2019. Her job involved reviewing and flagging content that violated Facebook’s guidelines. She would typically start her day at 7 a.m., sifting through thousands of posts daily, many of which contained disturbing content such as videos depicting murders, road accidents, rape, beheadings, and suicides. She earned around $600 per month. Five months after losing her job, Malgwi told Rest of World, she continues to struggle with mental health issues from the moderation work."
