Facebook moderators should be given support of that provided to frontline workers, says privacy expert

Elizabeth Farries of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties made the comparison following an Irish Examiner report which revealed that content moderators at Facebook are to take legal action in Ireland, alleging they now suffer post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of viewing graphic content at work.
