New Facebook Privacy Row

Last week, facebook was criticized as third party content moderators in the developing world for $1/hour. It was exposed that the social network shares more personal information with moderators than it has so far acknowledged.

Facebook responded saying: “No user information beyond the content in question and the source of the report is shared.”


However, new evidence seen by The Telegraph, shows that these moderators, who have to deal with the distressing images and messages which are reported every day, and are clearly able to see the names of the person who uploaded the ‘offensive’ content, the subject of the image or person tagged in a photo - in addition to the person who has reported the content.


Moreover, there are currently no security measures in place stopping these moderators taking screen shots of people's personal photos, videos and posts.
