I think the odds of US moderators being any sort of majority or anything close to that is slim to zero. The savings are astronomical and is the same reason customer support of all kinds, even IT help, is outsourced. US mods are most likely a minority and a face.

Do you have any sources for those claims?

Why say this? You’re making things up and you happen to be wrong.

I would assume content moderation makes Twitter absolutely nothing and actually just bleeds tens of millions of dollars annually.

They'd do their best to outsource the work somewhere that's super cheap (India, etc.) or they'd bring in international talent on H1B visas en-masse since I believe a not insignificant amount of their wages are subsidized by government.

You can’t bring H1-Bs in for content moderation.

Economics always prevails and that is on the side of my argument. Its also industry standard. Do you have a source for me being wrong?

I'm not saying you're wrong here, but the burden of proof is typically on the person making the claim...

Yeah, it’s not hard to find. Since you literally made it up and just assumed you’re correct with no basis, I will leave the research as an exercise you can pursue. FB has thousands of people in the US doing it.

If the user is wrong, please substantiate your accusation. As far as I know, they are absolutely right. If they're not right, where is your source?
