Have you guys ever witnessed anything disturbing while using social media? I've heard of stories where people did live streams of murders, shootings, and other disturbing events that happen all the time in this country. But social media you usually don't see it make it through. I've also heard how moderators on Facebook have to skim through posts that include gore, nudity, porn, cp, dead bodies, murders, animal abuse/murder etc that they then have to take down and report. I couldn't do a job like that. I have pretty thick skin and can handle seeing some f'd up shit, but the shit those mods have to sift through, it's gotta be taxing on their mental health.

Vice did an interview with someone who worked as a mod for Facebook. He discusses what he witnessed on the site.
