   Fasica’s heartbreaking report explores the mental health struggles of Meta’s content moderators working for Sama, particularly those from Tigray who moderated graphic content related to the genocide in their region. Download it at https://data-workers.org/fasica/.

     Fasica Gebrekidan worked for 2 years as a content moderator for Meta via Sama in Nairobi, Kenya, until she was laid off for attempting to form a data workers’ union. She was moderating content related to #TigrayGenocide while being a victim of it at the same time. Imagine.

     @timnitGebru @CorioPsicologia Is this the same Meta that’s a partner of Social Web Foundation with the good folks at Mastodon GmbH and Pixelfed? Surely not because why would the good folks at Mastodon GmbH and Pixelfed partner with them? I mean, how bad can Meta be if good folks like that are willing to associate with them?
