“Meta faces Ghana lawsuits over impact of extreme content on moderators”

In addition to substandard living conditions and miserable work environments in general, Meta moderators in Ghana and Kenya have been diagnosed with “severe post-traumatic stress disorder” due to what they were forced to watch for work. Beheadings, stabbings, pornography, a woman being skinned alive, etc.

More than that, when employees shared their concerns with leadership, they were demoted or sent away to their homelands. Once again, the continent of Africa is being pillaged for its people.

A concern of mine, is the AI Data Center being erected in Louisiana. Of course there’s the worry about water and electricity, but will our people’s mental health be at risk?

As for our friends in Ghana and Kenya, no amount of money can remedy this.

Also I wonder — and you have to wonder about this, if you know me at all you know I’m wondering about this — what about the mental health of the people who don’t work for Meta yet are forced to be active on those sites for work? Those who have to post for others and those who have to post for themselves. Was talking with a friend recently, about someone who is chronically online. Without revealing too much, the friend said the person revealed to him that he wasn’t doing well mentally. To which we both were like OK duh.

Yet the person continues to be … the way he is. Le sigh.
