They are not subject to the same conditions. I have met some of them in Ireland and elsewhere, and I have read the stories. They are certainly not subject to the same conditions. There have been many stories about the harshness, the pay inequality, the difficult conditions they work in and the psychological trauma and mental health issues that have arisen afterwards. They may be subject to the same training but they are certainly not subject to the same pay and conditions. What is the balance in that respect? Is it 50-50 or two thirds to one third? Is it primarily contractors that form the moderation team or is it Facebook employees?
