Defining the Job<\/h2>\n

In its simplest definition, content moderation is the act of carefully monitoring a certain type of media following a set of guidelines. It involves determining whether a piece of social media content is appropriate to be consumed by the public. And while it can be argued that the monitoring can be done through automation, there is no better judge than the human mind which better understands context and judgment. In short, a content moderator is someone who filters countless content and decides whether or not it is suitable for everyone to see.<\/p>\n
