Professor, researcher, writer, teacher. I care about #contentmoderation, #tech, #digitallabor, the state of the world. I like animals and #synthesizers and games (#ttrpg; #boardgames; #videogames). On the internet since 1993. Mac user since they came out. I like old computers and OSes. I love #cooking. Siouxsie is my queen. Los Angeles/Tovangaar-based white settler. Gay lady. I wrote an entire book on content moderation called Behind the Screen. Now might be an interesting time to read it.

@San_amd@mastodon.social @yassin@tilde.zone @josh@sciences.social @dansinker@omfg.town Oh yes, that’s a key point. I just met a person from [country redacted] who had been working at one of Fb’s notorious outsourcing sites outside of Berlin (you know the one). He was forced to leave his country of origin due to economic collapse there and because of his sexual identity. He had an advanced degree in an employable field but was relegated to this work due to his migrant status. He was thoroughly traumatized. Sigh. 💔💔💔

@San_amd@mastodon.social @yassin@tilde.zone @josh@sciences.social @dansinker@omfg.town To those interested, Germany is a hub of commercial content moderation work for a number of reasons, but certainly because of the “NetzDG” law that requires rapid takedown of material illegal in Germany or imposes huge fines.

@josh@sciences.social @dansinker@omfg.town Thanks, Josh. Yes, I’ve been studying content moderation _as work_, and the workers who do it, for almost 13 years. Here is my book on the subject. You may wish to check it out. https://yalebooks.yale.edu/9780300261479/behind-the-screen
