內容簡介

內容簡介 凱萊需要錢，當然，若不是為了錢，她才不想來做這份工作─社群平台言論審查員。公司的名字不可對外洩漏，但審查員意味著：你要看到人性最醜陋的一面。凱萊和她的同事每天做的事情就是：審查一張張充滿惡意、歧視、腥羶色、暴力、煽動言論的照片，點開每一個疑似有問題的違規影片和貼文，然後，根據公司的規章制度，決定是否要將這些從社群平台移除。一開始，大家還算能平心相處，凱萊甚至認識了新的女友，當她以為一切或許沒有這麼糟，但隨著每天接觸著充滿大量惡意與恐怖的照片和文字，一再挑戰所有人的道德底線，每個人的身心似乎逐漸瀕臨崩潰邊緣...'A glimpse of the foetid underbelly of the internet' - The Times'Taut as a thriller, sharp as a slug of ice-cold vodka' - Irish TimesTo be a content moderator is to see humanity at its worst ― but Kayleigh needs money. That’s why she takes a job working for a social media platform whose name she isn’t allowed to mention.

Kayleigh and her colleagues spend all day watching horrors and hate on their screens, evaluating them with the platform’s ever-changing moderating guidelines. Yet Kayleigh is good at her job, and in her colleagues she finds a group of friends, even a new girlfriend ― and for the first time in her life, Kayleigh’s future seems bright.But soon the job seems to change them all, shifting their worlds in alarming ways. How long before the moderators own morals bend and flex under the weight of what they see?We Had To Remove This Post by Hanna Bervoets is a chilling, powerful and gripping story about who or what determines our world view.
