Unless I'm misreading the article, this office is dealing with moderating content from sub-Saharan Africa, not dealing with "our trash". It is not that jobs are being outsourced to where they are cheapest, these jobs fundamentally have to be located somewhere in the region. You just couldn't hire enough people with the right language skills for this kind of work in the US.

Required language skills (in several African languages) were mentioned in the article, so that's not implausible.
