Proud to work for the kind of media organisation that publishes a first-person piece by a migrant care worker instead of scaremongering about them

For two years our team has been digging into this extensivley. It's one of the clearest examples of how Big Tech uses humans to power its business model without giving them the support or compensation they deserve for driving massive profits and keeping social media safe(er) for the rest of is.

My two years reporting on Big Tech’s hidden scandal Exhausted, traumatised and underpaid, content moderators are the invisible victims of a labour system in need of overhaul

better late than never! In the past two years at TBIJ I've spoken to 67 content moderators and other safety workers in 12 different countries.

I tried to sum up what I've learned, what's changed over the past two years and what companies should do to better recognise the importance of this work.
