An archive of the latest news bulletins, updates & factsheets related to Social Media Moderators from Coleman Legal.

A Court action on behalf of Social Media Moderators is proposed to be taken in Dublin Ireland, which is the European headquarters for many companies who utilise the services of Moderators. Content Moderators may be employed directly by tech companies or by third-party outsourced contractors.

In most cases, Facebook moderators are hired by a third-party company that has a partnership with Facebook to put in place the moderation services. If this is so then any compensation case could be filed against all organisations involved. During the subsequent legal case, it will be decided which entity did not have acceptable working conditions for the moderators to deal with.

Your legal representative solicitor will guide you in relation to the best course of action for you to take against these groups.Â
