The In-House Decency Patrol At Facebook
theodp writes "How'd you like a job where you get fired if you DON'T view porn at work? Newsweek reports on Facebook's internal police force of 150 staffers who are charged with regulating users' decorum, hunting spammers and working with actual law-enforcement agencies to help solve crimes. Part hall monitors, part vice cops, the $50,000-a-year 'porn cops' also keep Facebook safe for corporate advertisers."
there are people who get PAID to view porn?!
First it's the Sweedish tax collectors, now facebook! I am in the wrong line of business!
Karma Whoring for Fun and Profit.
They pay 150 people $50k a year to do this when if they promised people a few hundred Texas Hold 'Em chips per report they could have millions doing it for free.
How do I apply and am I allowed to save the images to my computer?
Neither your hard drive, nor your [censored}, are big enough.
They don't want people who will end up filing for workers' comp for "tennis elbow".
There are ads on facebook?
If you build it, nerds will come. Soylentnews.org
Wait till they find pictures of their mothers on my page!

Ya know facebook pretends to care about privacy all that but how can they keep that up
That *could* be a problem after watching pr0n all day ... maybe they could click on some of those contextual ads for some V14GR4 ...
True, but this doesn't sound like it needs that much skill to do it. Also can't this sort of thing be automated?
They tried that, but the computer grokked some robot hentai porn and went into an infinite loop, with the dvd drive just sliding in and out and in and out and in and out ...
Familiarity breeds contempt. Not only would the questionable perk of viewing porn and other amusing things become boring after constant exposure,
Kind of makes you want to feel sorry for gynecologists ...
Familiarity breeds contempt
Some clever person once said "without some familiarity, there's not a lot of breeding anyway."
I'll see your Constitution and raise you a Queen.
If you've been following what the LAPD has been up to in the last few months, you'd know that cops get cycled through the vice unit after only 18 months so that the next guy can get a turn.

aww, how cute, baby learned to type already..
I quit after a few months despite a fairly high salary because there is only so much child porn, dead bodies or both you can look at.
And yet the people on 4chan do this every day and _enjoy_ it
Unlike the average slashdotter I'm exposed to breasts at least every day and to be quite honest, they never stop being the single best toy in the world. Breasts are fun. End of story.
Just because you (unlike the average slashdotter) are a woman, doesn't mean you have to rub it in what you get to do every day...
I hate how incredibly sexist the filtering is.
What's even worse is that it's females who are demanding it. Just think of the children! An exposed female breast could traumatize a small child, especially when they're under the age of 2!
Seriously.

Just be thankful you're not being paid to watch necrophilia-based porn - that's dead boring. In contrast, the incest related stuff is only relatively boring.
