I'm in a lot of Leftbook groups, and we're always reading about some of our mods getting banned for doxxing people for bad behavior, or for "innapropriate content" that's not nearly as inappropriate as a lot of content that we see, and we tend to think of the Facebook Mods as these snotty little incels in their parents' basements, making these poor calls out of revenge on women. While I'm sure this still happens, because I've seen so much hate speech and violence towards women allowed while I know mods who get "Zucced" for saying things like "enmay are ashtray," I also think we might be too hard on them in general after reading about how they're treated.
It turns out that the people moderating for Facebook are poor, underpaid workers who sit too long, are routinely abused and have terrible jobs to the point of death. Former members of the military have even had a rought time working for the company. It's right up there with Amazon in terms of listing how many terrible things employees go through.
It just makes you wonder how on Earth they're able to even remain operational. Have you ever worked for a company like this? How do they even stay open?
