Awful job.

I remember reading the same thing not long about about YouTube moderators who worked out of the Philippines.

The world really is an evil place in some places. What isn’t understood is just how transformative Christianity was for the West. Liberals do not understand that what happens in the rest of the world would happen in the West, if it hadn’t been for Christianity.

So the bottom line it is easier to moderate conservatives rather than the real problems.

How about no moderation? Let the authorities investigate any illegal activities. Let people put up their own personal filters.

TikTok is a ChiCom asset. Their goal is to corrupt the West.
I’m surprised they use moderators at all.

Their only job is to filter out MAGA.

Hell, our Left is still anti-Western colonialism in the Americas. Ask the human sacrifices of the Aztecs what they think of that.

Probably one reason why they're increasingly using overseas moderators.

That would be VKontakte —Russian Facebook. There’s no moderation at that place. Anything goes.

Amen. A buddy said that in many parts of the world, civility and civilization is a thin veneer while the sun shines and often non-existent once it goes down.

That was the barely-hidden hidden message in Mel Gibson’s movie, Apocalypto, IMO.

Made friends some years ago with retired Rhodesian officer who ran merca all over África for 20 years before retiring to Central America

He said that in many places they operated life had zero value to most anyone—this guy was tough as hell and he said it even got to be too much for him
