Child Abuse: Hans Block and Acts Facebook

child abuse: And yet the company now finds itself having to clean up such messes every hour of every day, according to Rabble. Or rather, it employs outsiders to do said dirty work. Out went a pledge to make the world more open and connected and in its place came an intention to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together . You could view this as an admission that 'open' had failed. 'Open' means open to hate speech, child abuse, violence, sex and the kind of illegal acts Facebook would rather have nothing to do with. In The Cleaners, a documentary by Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck, contractors from the Philippines candidly discuss the steady stream of sex, violence and hate speech they have to sift through every day. Don't doubt too much whether your decision is right or wrong, because otherwise you will overthink it, and then you won't be able to take a decision, Riesewieck summarises to Tech Radar at Mozilla's Mozfest, where he and his co-director have just been on a panel discussing internet moderation.
