Internal data from the ABC show the harmful content moderators are exposed to weekly, sometimes even daily. But the organisation’s response is one many others can learn from.
You’d think, as a terminally online person and a moderator (not just here but I was one on some Reddit communities, too), I’d run into the super awful shit like CP once in a while. I haven’t accidentally stumbled onto shit like that since I was, like, 15 and the Internet was like the Wild West.
I don’t really think that’s all moderators doing. There’s a ton of automation in a lot of shit now that can detect CP and other illegal content and prevent it from showing up. The humans doing the job tend to be the most literal-minded dipshits that can’t grasp the concept of context, satire, or sarcasm.
