Listen "Manila's Digital Gatekeepers: Inside the Content Moderation Machine"
Episode Synopsis
Our hosts take listeners inside Manila's massive content moderation facilities, where thousands of workers process traumatic content for major tech platforms. Through exclusive interviews and investigation, we reveal the daily reality of content moderators: their training process, exposure to graphic violence and exploitation, strict quotas requiring split-second decisions, and the physical workspace designed for maximum efficiency. The episode examines how Facebook and YouTube's outsourcing to the Philippines created this industry, while exploring the contrast between Silicon Valley's pristine offices and the industrial-scale trauma processing happening halfway around the world.
