With Meta in the news - again - being exposed for promoting content that harmed teens mental health, I wonder how those who work in tech or another controversial field juggle their morals with their job? Everyone has different reasons for working in those fields, and I know those who grew up poor or low-income will work for companies like Meta for the pay cushion, but I’m curious to know how you draw the line?

People working for the company already knew about the things that they will be exposed to. But as you said, there will always be people that will take on the job not because they lack moral values but because someone has to or they just badly need to.

I also don’t believe it’s on the individual to fix the system by effectively missing out on opportunities that would enrich their life. This can be applicable to almost any ESG issue like sustainability etc. But of course its up to every person where they draw the boundary (picking the lesser evil.) You can argue any job indirectly or directly has a negative impact.

This is a challenge no matter how you look at it. It’s hard to know what will trigger and or harm someone’s mental health. Therefore it takes more than the platforms to protect youth, it takes the ‘village’ at home. My granddaughter at 7 was in Roblox ban because she ‘defended’ herself. I was glad to see the dialogue was monitored and shared with her parents. Etiquette is not lost when it’s reinforced. The question is how often is it. Everything seems to go on social platforms. No discretion, respect, accountability, or responsibility required.

I’m sorry to hear that happened to your granddaughter. And yeah, like you stated in your last sentence, people don’t care about that. I also think companies don’t really know how to enforce that. If users aren’t going to do that then moderators on each platform will have to do so
