> They are the ones who should be forced to pay for the long term mental health of these workers.

I don't disagree... However, this doesn't do anything to address the issue that someone still has to sift through this disturbing content, and society as a whole probably still pays the price.

I don't think any sort of compensation or mental help would prevent the kinds of side effects this sort of role is exposed to.

I don’t know why FB believes it should aim to be the repository for all of everyone’s media.

Most photos and videos are crappy. They could throttle it to 10 per person per day and increase quality. I’m sure people would complain and FB would think they lose out to a competitor with unlimited uploads. However, a reduced load means easier job to address the bad stuff.

It’s probably unworkable, but making people more discerning rather than less isn’t a bad thing.
