Report: Facebook Moderators Are Routinely High and Joke About Suicide to Cope With Job
Randy told The Verge that he doesn’t believe that 9/11 was a terrorist attack after reviewing enough conspiracy theory videos that tried to make that case. One moderator claimed that a quality assurance worker was trying to convince his colleagues that the earth was flat. Another Cognizant employee reportedly referred to the holocaust as “the Holohoax.”
“People really started to believe these posts they were supposed to be moderating,” a moderator told The Verge. “They were saying, ‘Oh gosh, they weren’t really there. Look at this CNN video of [Parkland shooting survivor] David Hogg—he’s too old to be in school.’ People started Googling things instead of doing their jobs and looking into conspiracy theories about them. We were like, ‘Guys, no, this is the crazy stuff we’re supposed to be moderating. What are you doing?’”
