Content moderators are tasked with reviewing content that has been flagged as violating a platform’s (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram’s) community guidelines. This work involves continuous exposure to extremely graphic content including images, videos and posts depicting child abuse, extreme violence, Terrorism, animal abuse etc. 

This exposure can cause a significant impact on a moderator’s psychological well-being and cause psychological injuries such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

It is important to note that Employers owe a duty of care to their employees and must ensure their safety and well-being while at work.

If you are a content moderator and have experienced a psychological injury as a result, our specialist solicitors can advise you on whether you are entitled to claim compensation for the injury you have sustained.
