Earlier this week in a blog post, Facebook revealed some of the inner workings of the social media platform's content review process. Apparently, the job is so stressful that the company keeps a team of psychologists onsite to help their employees cope.
Facebook admits that content review on this scale has never been attempted before. "After all," Facebook said, "there has never been a platform where so many people communicate in so many different languages across so many different countries and cultures."
"We recognize the enormity of this challenge and the responsibility we have to get it right," they added.
Facebook claims that they employ 7,500 content reviewers, "a mix of full-time employees, contractors and companies we partner with," who cover every time zone and are proficient in over 50 languages.
