Facebook Responds To Report On Conditions At Phoenix Contractor

Facebook has responded to the report, published this morning in The Verge, which claimed that its third party moderators at Cognizant faced panic attacks and symptoms of PTSD, along with other mental issues, due to having to deal with a constant onslaught of disturbing content, including violence, hate, and graphic pornography, and even videos of murders. In a post Justin Osofsky, VP of Global Operations at Facebook, released a letter to its staff addressing what he called "a lot of questions, misunderstandings and accusations around Facebook's content review practices including how we as a company care for and compensate the people behind this important work."
