content moderators
Online content screeners
Content moderators are people who review user-generated material—posts, images, videos, comments—to enforce platform rules.
They remove or flag content that violates guidelines: hate speech, violence, spam, illegal activity.
The work is often outsourced and notoriously traumatic, requiring repeated exposure to disturbing material: Content moderators at major platforms report high rates of PTSD.
