Facebook Moderators face unprecedented trauma on a daily basis by being exposed to the absolute worst that humanity can throw at them. I was barely able to complete the expose by The Verge and could really resonate with what they had to put up with. We have been talking about Facebook a lot in the past number of weeks and I think we all need to continue to limit our exposure to the content and negativity that is really impacting us as a society. I really think we will have a lot of trouble ahead if we do not start putting the brakes on and make sure we are getting exposure to content that is helping us.
