These people don't make any individual decision. They have a word document in front of them with official guidelines for any case.

Yes, they have. If it were possible to fully automate the task, Facebook will not hire humans. From the article: "The moderators have to check posts that have been flagged up and make a snap judgement on whether they should be taken down.". Some videos are probably easy to identify, but the world is a scale of grays.

Will young Philippinos empathize with terrorist causes after reading too much?

I didn't say anything about terrorism. I was talking about "One ex-manager who helped recruit Facebook moderators said staff were often traumatised by material.". Sorry for not being more clear.
Stressful traumatizing jobs can have a worse impact in a poor country that in one where there is more help available.
1984 was wrong on this one. The censorship doesn't come from an all knowledgable goberment, but it comes from low-cost teenagers.
What impact is going to have into the global communications to introduce such a specific bias? What impact is going to have in the psychology of these young employees, that already live in a violent country?
