Pretty sure that if you get to see a lot of “Violent Content” on your Facebook, you’re either following the wrong groups or have wrong friends who you chose to allow to (or you’re specifically looking it up 😅). If there’s anything Facebook is good at, it’s at keeping people cosy in their selective information bubble. I myself have maybe had 5 posts that actually had shocking content I rather not had seen in the 14 years I was on Facebook, and I think most of them by the same 1 person that I eventually asked to exclude me if they post stuff alike… 😅
Not gonna argue that visual shock trauma isn’t a thing, it surely is! (I have sadly collected a small (mind-)museum of those in my lifetime myself.) Nor am I gonna claim Facebook “isn’t that bad”, it definitely is too! But this just has moneyfishing written all over it.
👴🏼 Oh, well,… Back in my day, when we saw something that would scar us for life, we’d immediately call as many friends possible to come look at it too… 👴🏼 😅
This is about the people who have to check if this stuff is violating the rules, not users who happened to see it
In my defense, I was pretty drunk when I commented this…
Don’t drink and Lemmy…
But so it’s the people that took the job complaining about the thing they are meant to be doing? That’s even more ridiculous. If you’re easily scarred by bad Facebook content, maybe don’t get a job with actual description to check bad Facebook content? 😅
Did you read the article or just skim the headline?
No, I read the headline and skimmed the article. 😅
are you lost ?
Just looking for the bathroom.
Exactly. If Facebook content moderators don’t like to see that stuff they shouldn’t be following those Facebook groups.
Idk why this was downvoted, this is pretty obvious sarcasm.
Correct
