...that's a rabbit hole you don't want to get into, but yes.

When videos are flagged for harmful content, it's generally some third-worlder being forced to sit through videos of extreme violence for hours on end.

Social medial companies literally export emotional labor onto the third world so that first world children aren't exposed to beheadings on YouTube and Facebook.
