Meet your (Chinese) Facebook censors
China is one of the most censorious societies on earth. So what better place for Facebook to recruit social-media censors?
There are at least half a dozen “Chinese nationals who are working on censorship,” a former Facebook insider told me last week. “So at some point, they [Facebook bosses] thought, ‘Hey, we’re going to get them H-1B visas so they can do this work.’ ”
The insider shared an internal directory of the team that does much of this work. It’s called Hate-Speech Engineering (George Orwell, call your office), and most of its members are based at Facebook’s offices in Seattle. Many have Ph.D.s, and their work is extremely complex, involving machine learning — teaching “computers how to learn and act without being explicitly programmed,” as the techy Web site DeepAI.org puts it.
When it comes to censorship on social media, that means “teaching” the Facebook code so certain content ends up at the top of your newsfeed, a feat that earns the firm’s software wizards discretionary bonuses, per the ex-insider. It also means making sure other content “shows up dead-last.”

Meet your (Chinese) Facebook censors
Not surprised since Tech was doing censorship projects for the Chinese communists, that they then brought the technology and workers to apply it to the US. Traitors.

Zuckerberg has an in. Friends of his wife?
We told you H-1B visas are evil but no one listened. All I got back was virtue signalling on how great LEGAL immigration is. What BS. STOP ALL immigration now and for ever.
Something needs to be done with these companies and our universities that are being infiltrated by our enemy. Heads need to roll
FascistBook was already doing this two years ago.
All of us on the Moderator teams were “teaching the AI”, as we were told - with guidance micromanaged from the higher echelons of the company.
Back then, it was the Indians calling the shots, with H1B’s. Now it’s the ChiComs. Same dictatorship, different dictators.
The filthy Indian H1Bs still are. Facebook and others have whole moderation teams headed by Indian H1Bs with most staffing done in India. Actually surprised it was the Communist Chinese as Indians have about a 90% to 10% numerical advantage.
Not going to happen. Too many of our most prominent (although reprehensible) politicians are in chinas pocket. And chinamen are embedded into every fabric of our society.
Like cockroaches in a restaurant.
