They are the army of workers who man Facebook's front line, tasked with removing offensive and terror-related material from the internet giant's site.
But a Mail on Sunday investigation has discovered the multi-billion pound social networking site employs hundreds of young Filipinos – some with limited English skills – who work gruelling shifts and say they earn just £1.81 an hour.
They are forced to decide in seconds whether or not to delete videos, pictures and posts which are too graphic or violent.
Staff face being sacked if they fail to meet strict quotas that mean they have to assess hundreds of extreme posts every shift.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Other news outlets at the moment are too busy running promotional pieces on Zuckerberg being the next president, advocating universal basic income, free basics, the need to censor fake news and various other things that make him look important and special.
How facebook actually operates it's business is almost never a concern. Even less so now he's potentially running for public office on the 'enlightened liberal genius' ticket, the perfect mirror candidate to Trump.

I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. My son in law, Jared, is a Jew. My lawyer, Jason Greenblatt, is a Jew. He’s a person who truly loves Israel. I love to get advice from people that know Israel, but from people that truly love Israel. I don’t think I can find better. I think I'll put an embassy in Jerusalem. Clinton said he would do it. Bill Clinton. He didn't. He's a betrayer. Jews love me. They have their own holidays. I think that's great! Prime Minister Netanyahu loves me. I met him after I went to the Middle East. Great guy! Great friend. Great eyes! Just so you understand, I never mentioned the word or the name Israel. Never mentioned that to Sergey. Not gonna mention it next time I meet him, either. Keeping quiet about Israel, with Sergey. #Trump2020
