This was such a heart-breaking read. Honestly, I've read worst, but it's appalling to read that we outsource this traumatizing job to others outside this country. It's easy to forget where our products and services come from, since we cannot see them, and the corporations hide the truth from us. What is also disgusting is the fact that these things exist in the first place. This world is fucked up, man.
To imagine being exposed to that much pornography and acts of unspeakable nature is nothing but scarring. Like the woman in the end, she cannot forget the sight of a blindfolded, crying woman. I can't help but wonder what they think about us over seas. It explains a lot about our thoughts for overseas workers. We hide them behind our products and ignore them. It seems that we can't see them as human enough that we dump our unwanted garbage over there and pay them little for their work.
How do we solve something like this? I would safely say that the idea to put these sick fuckers to jail by reporting them to government officials. However, it is upsetting to say that it's more difficult than it seems to track these monsters down. Just like how the shadow web still exists, these people know how to conceal and hide their tracks. No bread crumbs to be found.
I don't like the fact we do this to people overseas, why should we not face our own faults? The more we hide our transgression, they will consistently exist and grow in numbers.
It's such an awful situation, this was just awful to read.
*But informative and I'm glad I read it. I had no idea this was another problem we have from reaping from other countries.

I agree that the article was very shocking, it seems you can’t surf the internet these days without running into disturbing images and videos. I was shocked by the idea that a large portion of the most gruesome images and videos are in fact moderated and blocked. It is stomach-turning to think that the worst of the filth never reaches posting sites like YouTube and Facebook. I don’t know what could be done either, I mean outside of arresting people who post and create the content which is next to impossible. I think such content is a symptom of a bigger issue of the human condition. It’s plainly true that the world is fucked up but I wonder how such behavior could be treated, not just with therapy but with the way people are raised at least in western cultures. Sheltering children from such violence doesn’t seem to work, only causing such images to have a deeper impact. I’m no psychologist but their has to be a way to combat these horrible behaviors as a collective, the way these posts are seemingly endless is so contradictory to societal norms. It’s almost as if people put on a mask when in the public eye but the second they can discard such a conformist exterior there is such unspeakable horror lurking underneath. People are fucked up, but I don’t know if people ask why that is enough, or even if the answer exists. It’s more than just the fact these posts exist, it’s the mental and emotional conditions behind it.
