5:30 pm
so it's not easy. in. his book if i patronize facebook partnered with an outsourcing firm soon you know. that firm found the employees and trained them according to facebook's guidelines of his book. it was this outsourcing firm that actually handled the employees that content i was a content moderator and it is i analyzed the content to see if it was appropriate for the platform and it could say you arrive at the office go up stairs leaving all your personal items in a locker it's as if and then also i can and city to computer which isn't yours and
5:31 pm
that can affect us and then. when you spend some time reviewing the decisions made in previous days as an alternate to the market forces your decisions are always monitored sensitive after that you start moderating content all day long. when you arrive you clock in it not with a badge but with your fingerprints on punch that. comparison if you amount of moderation people do it facebook to pan's on their pace in the time they've worked there. from one person to the next it varies between 30600 reveals a day says so when you. need them. murder
5:32 pm
suicide right. domestic violence racism discrimination is bullying. for me the worst thing is. question to beheadings and the rape of babies in the video i think they're the worst of. it. seems that all come up and if you're still a bit naive or innocent and they please don't take this childish shit don't do it. don't spoil that. there are things you don't want to say. it's not worth it fucking ourselves that once you've lost your innocence or a high get back. leg.
5:33 pm
my name is chris i'm from england originally and i lived a long time in asia and then i came back to ireland with my new wife and we needed to find work and this was the easiest job that i could find the job title is community operations analyst it doesn't say anything about facebook it doesn't really explain the job they tell you it's about analyzing trends and recognizing what's happening in the world and implementing standards and so forth it sounds very exciting but we're working in
5:34 pm
a fish facebook building where using the facebook systems i have a facebook id i have a documents for facebook that i have to sign it's you working for facebook but there's a gap i think in it it's just to protect facebook legally i think most of my work was related to content moderation so i was just looking at pornography. or. material content that people have reported as pornography so mostly naked ladies it was a very nice my 1st month was a very pleasant month of work but then you would see some disgusting animal sex or children or something occasionally so it was a little bit of a shock and then later the priority for the u.k. team is hate speech bullying threats of violence you know nasty nasty stuff and i would spend 6 hours reading arguments between people or
5:35 pm
complaints about muslims or black people or english people or french people just nasty awful stuff all day. so when i started the job i was i was kind of excited i'm saving the world i'm here to protect the people who use facebook from bad actors this is the name we have people whose actions are bad so you would just review the content and think about the rules. and after some time you notice maybe you're agreeing with the content or disagreeing and getting angry and then after a little bit more time. you're responding more to something bad that you say you are god not this again i hate this guy why do people do this and you start to. it's not immediately because you're already but over time it starts to just just.
5:36 pm
slap slap slap slap you start to feel the pain i think. it's there i can see every detail. and it comes back and it's it's it's deep in my mind it's buried in my head you know it's really really hard. i have several friends that i worked with before who are now on able to work or not working can't find a job. they are taking medication medication they're taking antidepression medication my doctor told me i'm depressed and i need to take sri s.s.r.i. prozac. because she thinks i'm depressed and. i don't believe in these diseases i don't i don't want to take medicines. but i'm not doing very well either
5:37 pm
i've had 3 jobs since i left facebook i can't keep a job i get into arguments with people about nothing. so. we need help we need. a professional person to spend some time with us and help us to understand. what problems we have and what we can do. the n.d.a. means i can have this conversation i can talk to you i can talk to my wife about the work that i did or did not and you're not allowed to discuss any details of anything related to facebook's operations facebook's secret information or your your working conditions make covers everything it's a. a gagging order. for life it's a life time agreement. somebody has to speak because we're hidden was silent we are
5:38 pm
not allowed to have a voice because facebook wants to protect facebook facebook doesn't want to protect the people that may be harmed. was like a light in your head. you just know our yeah this is the truth i should ask a lawyer if it's ok. initially i was contacted by chris who came to me and explained his work circumstances it was very easy for me to do the research to see what he was complaining about and to understand and empathize with his position that it was
5:39 pm
also easy for me to understand his legal rights and how they were infringed by what has happened and that of course will form the basis of the case against facebook. from true chris many more people have come forward and both male and female and it's quite clear that a passion emerged straight away of people who were hurt people who were injured as a result of what happened to them in their workplace and the many hours they spent doing what they had to do which of unfortunately has led to their damage and will now lead to their vindication of their rights through the courts. i think if you listen to politicians nobody is aware of what's being taught what's happening. because politicians are all complaining about fake news and election integrity and the spread of extremism etc there's this problem that they see and they just shout we want
5:40 pm
a solution. but they don't know anything about the work they're not talking about. you know how can we do this or just pointing to the social media companies and say misses your fault but they're not they're not engaged with how do you do this because to write the rules is really really difficult to create a system that enables us to protect you your children somebody is bullying your kid i have to deal with that somebody is suppressing hateful ideology i have to deal with it i try to think about this as if i'm mark zuckerberg how do you solve this problem. it's not his problem his problem is that he has to make money for his shareholders. it's a legal requirement in america he has to make the maximum profit so he's not interested in content moderation unless it makes more money. and i never heard
5:41 pm
anybody talk about how facebook makes more money because of this. the 2 of the best bus the supply of food i'm going to be so i think these platforms biggest trick is to make consumers or users in general believe that there are
5:42 pm
automatic processes and algorithms that work everywhere this is the way he could get isn't going to win very often these tasks are done by hand is it easy i don't know you do to the end to make workers believe that what they're doing is not real work and if they call it a job a gig i'm sure so it's transitory ephemeral and will eventually disappear. demagogued but despite about hospital something of all thanks to this approach they avoid paying for a work it's true value yes i just got it and they avoid providing any kind of social security to the potential. ceiling got if we look only at the workers we overlook the fact that these workers also produce data for these that would need this data is used to produce automation would be a little for example workers are geo located according to all this geo location data is collected by that will be
5:43 pm
a platform he saw say on the platform and uses this data on the one hand to make it service work but also and this is the most worrying thing in the long run is using the data to create automatic processes. ritual for it he says you don't do do good easy do for drivers it's a question of using this data to train autonomy vehicles legal and or who are delivery drivers we see it on platforms like amazon to train delivery robots will really go to the employer we're preparing for automation by using this mass of data produced by these click workers sick like you. who are you see it will be making you have certain if you swap one jumpy you to outsource today to put people to work who are less well paid whose rights are less respected there's no need to open a factory in another country gain a sufficient number of war good luck to you raise your hand but for the if suddenly
5:44 pm
it's quite simply a matter of attracting people from other countries or average wages are lower than the platforms countries of origin to work for your platform to be. you don't sell assume that i thought so keep the delusion pure do i see need to be this type of logic of economic and political asymmetry we do need some would even call it neocolonialism it is also applied by platforms locally don't know be in their own country don't get anything from it again is that the american platforms ruthlessly exploit micro workers and click workers in the us on forms that the platform say's in france the french platforms don't hesitate to pay very little to french micro workers that you can say you don't do something to ski why is this something that points to a kind of global impoverishment and exploitation both in the north and the south don't you know that would be nice.
5:45 pm
to see. it's really 6 times people you know faced with the most extreme situations of subordination exploitation and surveillance by using heat workers who will help raise collective awareness of the jails 4050 the struggle for the real need whistleblowers who will speak out against a situation that is unjust suggestion and must be protested use of and she just of course like it for such a. dance that it is a get. to be preacher of those free thinkers and it over you and i realize that be working for a couple when i signed the contract and read the clause saying i'm criminally responsible under irish law if i divulge anything to anyone about this or it will.
5:46 pm
start. searingly positiveness all sorts of serious not artificial intelligence ruse foods will follow your good all the so called machine learning is done by humans with our nose which is all this so-called artificial intelligence is just people feeding the machine continuously of constantly so sick of us was one job more onerous feeding the machine corcoran on her 1st day in cork what they call induction day we were told we were going to work to improve series precision so they explained we'd wear headphones and listen to recordings all day. suspected for some time if there was some kind of espionage element in bedded in this type of device. so that when you accept the terms and conditions of use since you know you don't know what data is being collected don't worry just a quick thing or could use a. question. from our youth i had no idea that we'd listen to people all the
5:47 pm
time that. the value microphones and apple devices are always on and recordings are triggered random record. god so all day long listens to people talking about their private lives discussing very intimate things. for a possibility the idea was to listen to people dictating the message we're talking to seriously so it's a good point survived was the principle yes but in fact there were lots and lots of recordings when the voice assistant triggered itself just because it was so so the recordings were storage either on the i phone or in some server on shore so we are york from supermarkets you this little thought it was i decided to talk about it because it makes me so much to see that we are completely unaware of the degree to which these companies interfere in our lives to say goodbye little even people who want nothing to do with the you know richer.
5:48 pm
treasures resumes for your being posted. as mr this is you about it i thought we should keep track of all this. so when i decided to leave i risked everything and started taking screenshots of whatever i could be of and i plugged a memory stick into the computer could be a different day i got new screenshots. your limitations are and frankly i was scared that one of the strictest instructions was not telling anyone so use it even among yourselves in her open plan office we weren't supposed to discuss what we heard to describe no it was and we were really not supposed to talk to journalists people outside apple people know just. one of your jobs or the quarter point over by taking these screenshots i have proof
5:49 pm
that there were millions and millions of recordings have their work on the porter you can see on it for example for the i pads when i took the screenshots there were 14 different countries involved all want to cure look support it. if these work projects contain 600-0021 point 2000000 recordings for a total of 1000 hours per country through the. project on average there are 8 to 12000000 recordings for each of these projects which make up one time on a very long scrolling minute strongmen edition no good 30th little. fish will be pursued bball gold rush. i feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of it. value by the size of these companies this is what we learned also by the economic and political stakes behind the government could lead to produce each or g.m. goes up but it's not that complicated to refuse to take part in the film for.
5:50 pm
a month or more the more new yorkers are they'd like to show my face as i hope others will follow suit. that's already a 1st step. to defend oneself. to this form and then to counter attack. by what we are led to believe it's not normal and it's not normal and it's not a given. and it but should listen to what. i know of 3 young. bloods say yeah the folk showing today the resistance are starting to take place in the it's going to. click workers are organizing because it is always your gun he obvious red unions are reaching out to
5:51 pm
these new populations of workers to defend their rights to organize them a little while. we're going to see. it's too much so we voted to get paid by the hour orders so if you don't get an order you still get paid just a little it's work. only doesn't when you can do if you were on call like firefighters but they get paid but we're not paid when we're on call we're connected and ready to deliver but we're not paid to do so i think it's only logical to be paid once you're connected to the app most of them it's going to. get . rid of you can. support the new division now you know what i'm going into livery driver for 7 months if i work part time. i'm also a union rep the c g t's job security committee if you could just mentor for the
5:52 pm
past few weeks we've been trying to get organized against the companies we work for to was like and you can put from point a can play. and they're trying to raise awareness and show and deliver you that they can't do whatever they want. because they've tried to set up to start a school in recent years there's an hour just because widespread. look at this is the workers want to have a say in things because. you can just. stick a nuisance jumper says it's over it's going to sing for the same. fellow you get that phone that gets look cover your. the party forms invite their workers to be self-employed skinny joyce i want to do at least this is an extremely individualistic and capitalistic vision of the present through the color use of color you have to use paradoxically enough more and more workers are saying i'll be responsible for myself. i'll take charge of my own destiny but i'll do it
5:53 pm
collectively what are. we see for example workers for creating a cooperative. enough money for us that there were demonstrations against illiterate. i worked for them with other colleagues. over the course of time we started to realize that the working conditions they proposed to have to stuff it was right and that is we all saw them to improve said the things. you put a mountain but. both together we decided to start to projects we set up a co-operative we saw to refute the idea that you must go with the flow and that there is a model for the future. we want to prove that technology can also be ethical which is not incompatible with the way
5:54 pm
a co-operative where. it can be democratic not one of them is the. user doesn't know that your mom called that. song because we have contracts 6 paid . vacations pay slips and you're going to be gone organization is horizontal or vertical or a pyramid you know there's no hierarchy just like the workers without exception have exactly the same rights and the same salary. number. company is a nonprofit school for to is very fair all the money we make is reinvested in the core part of the u.s. i love to be able but everyone. at the moment there are about 30 of us. so i'm very confident as far as the future of man southwest is concerned we have to
5:55 pm
keep moving forwards here. for us on the one hand but also to prove on a more general level there is an alternative. to the c.p.m. and i'm not even. sure when we're going to get our model is starting to be exported to god's young and it gets them very similar projects are emerging in other cities in madrid colleagues founded upon. which works as a co-operative. also the case elsewhere in europe but at the last people are starting quarter to start were born into a similar struggle. and there are some in belgium in france so you get seagate that doesn't look up and i think that's little by little it's
5:56 pm
a model that will grow. up and came down and. what we need to generate is a large scale social awareness of what's going on. because it's a true technology makes our lives easier responders yes air and these new ways of consuming won't disappear. but we have to be aware of the consequences that they can have. that data in this week's years that. every time we consume a product we have to ask ourselves when it comes from one of our mines i guess it's time for the working class to step forward. i propose alternatives and that's i got because i don't get organized to defend your rights knowing i'll do it for a certain examiners imply that we have to make our voices heard so things can change it amps you know. there it was the abrupt.
5:57 pm
ok it was on me also the next. was accusing his remark of the machines and. didn't i mail the result on there was a kit that it is so this you never know the we need a can of guess and what will sound it is yes man i'm a not me that coming at not sure on super tuesday. but then they get off that's new for a song within a couple of years this is sad. and a jam they could run. into

6:08 pm
a magic wand to solve everything is once what we're working on behalf of brazilians every day. brazil's congress has launched an inquiry into the bowl tomorrow government's handling of the pandemic senators are looking at what mistakes were made. worst hit by the pandemic of being brazil's poor many who have lost work especially those who are before the crisis. and because of the country's slow vaccine brazil's agony looks unlikely to end soon. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. in terrorist clashes have broken out between police and protesters demanding stronger labor protections thousands of demonstrators are in the streets to mark international labor day though many rallies have been scaled back due to the pandemic. at least 24 people have been killed in a car bombing in afghanistan's southern province more than 100 others were wounded

comes as the u.s. and nato allies begin formally withdrawing troops from the country after a 20 year war with the taliban. to kenya now where one of the reporters has been injured after police fired tear gas canisters at a crowd in nairobi a moment captured on camera our east africa correspondent was covering a protest over coronavirus restrictions job losses and police brutality with her cameraman and she was hit twice was interviewing a demonstrator at the time director general of a local journalist organization for the region and amnesty international have condemned the incident and the sea is calling on kenyan authorities to investigate . and let's go straight to our correspondent in nairobi just tell us what happened . yes so my cameraman and camera colleague john to and i we were together as
6:10 pm
a little square in front of the national archives here in nairobi which is in the central business district it's a popular gathering people whether sitting you know just enjoying the freedom day and also also watching as activists by gathering 40 activists more or less. came there to protest very peacefully also always reminding themselves to abide to the rules and you know maintain social systems they were demanding you know improvements or support by the government especially for low income populations in nairobi especially affected by the cold that 19 measures and the pandemic and the lockdown especially so we were there we filmed and we saw we heard shots and we thought ok what's going on we saw the tear gas and then we saw also the police and so we also felt of course that we you know inhaled it so you know it affected our eyes and our noses but then. we just burst and then later on when i thought it's
6:11 pm
a bit calm you know we just tried to get out of the way. we interviewed a lady who was also a protester and it was just us interviewing her and nobody else and then of course always people gather when you do interviews with a camera so then some people came up and we continued the interview but then we heard another shot and there was police right behind the lady and they were pointing at us and we just wanted to go you know get out of the way and we tried that but then i the next thing that i heard it all felt was you know another shot and then i just felt like this burning pain in my thigh and i saw that this kind of stress this to guys that you know launched from a real weapon so it's not just you know they don't throw it it's it's really when it's so it's really strong and the impact was really strong so yeah that's what i've done what i experience today. we reporters don't really like to be the story but what is the situation like for journalists in general and kid is what happened
6:12 pm
to you a common sort of a cur. yes so actually it's not very common so just recently i just spoke to the had of journalist association here in nairobi and he told me it's actually quiet you know uncommon that this things happen and also you know reporters without borders actually ranked. kenya recently on position 102 which is one of them you know among the worst positions in recent time so yeah there are attacks but they're not very common it's not normal here so the use is there are beatings by police officers the confiscations of equipment and you know you even get in jail but it's not compared to other east african countries it's not very known for these kind of cases but it does happen especially on protests especially on opposition gatherings all you know political gatherings
6:13 pm
political gatherings actually at the moment and also because of the culvert pandemic and that's also why they put these probably you know attacks to disperse the crowd ok well thank you for sharing your story. reporting from nairobi. and most of those parties have been out of the question for a long time but in the british city of liverpool change this week after more than a year of club closures 3000 people were allowed to park a warehouse for a rave the positive it was designed to study whether coronavirus restrictions can be eased without triggering new outbreaks of covert 19. it was a big day as for britain's music scene. it all of us are excited we're all on the verge it is ready to do what i want to see you know it will be so we're just ready for. a little bit overwhelming because we haven't been around this many people in so long and it's just it's weird to get back in the way excited
6:14 pm
a bit nervous bohm excited. the revellers how to test negative for coronavirus twice ahead of the event but once inside take a party without restrictions. it's been so long if it if it happens every day did it feel like we get this again to be like this yeah i've been on this ride feel good when it's me but there are so many people. without mosque with our soldiers so so so long as it feels amazing. scientists are using this trial to test the safety of large gatherings on lies and data on the movement up the crowds and air quality inside the venue britain has vaccinations more of its population than any other country in europe and the hope is that us with the help
