I obtained recording of several town halls held by Irish company Covalen, which Facebook uses to recruit hundreds of moderators.
Moderators during the call were clearly frustrated, angry and scared about being forced back to the office

On moderator, an immigrant who said she had no support in Dublin, book down in tears during the call:
“I think every day, if I lost my husband, if anything happened to me, who could take care of my six-year-old son?”

These moderators have to view the most heinous material on the internet, yet are paid minimum wage and forced back into an office that has reported five positive #COVID19 cases so far.

“Every single morning when I start, I work on child abuse and at night, I can’t sleep, I am dreaming just child abuse.” one moderator said during the town hall meeting

Moderators are angry that full time employees, many of whom have to do much of the same work as moderators, continue to be allowed to work from home — without any clear explanation from the company why that is the case

“Facebook allowed her to work remotely, we do the same fucking job,” one moderator told me.
This was in reaction to a full time FB employee posting a message to her FB profile thanking the company for allowing her to work from home for six months

This is happening around the world where FB has 35,000 moderators reviewing content
"What’s it going to take to get them to look after these thousands of people & to give them the same rights as Facebook employees? A dead moderator?” @cori_crider asks.

Internal documents I accessed suggests Dublin is going o beam a “hub” for the most horrific content (child abuse imagery, beheadings etc) suggesting moderators there will have to deal with more of this content.

But, Facebook moderators are leaving in droves (to rivals like TikTok where they are full-time employees and get all the benefits that come with that) meaning fewer people having to do more work.

One moderator summed it up during the town hall:
"It is not our fault that everybody left to go to different companies. “I know there are many people suffering from depression right now & you guys need to show more empathy towards your staff.”
