So brown/black people in the third world who often find that this is their only meaningful form of social mobility are the "someone" by default? Because that's the de-facto world we have!


That's not true at all. All the people I speak of are here in Spain. They're generally just young people starting a career. Many of them end up in the fringes of cybersecurity work (user education etc) actually because they've seen so many scams. So it's the start of a good career.

Sure some companies would outsource also to africa but it doesn't mean this work is only available to third-world countries. And there's not that many jobs in it. It's more than possible to be able to find enough people that can stomach it.

There was another article a few years back about the poor state of mental health of Facebook moderators in Berlin. This is not exclusively a poor people problem. More of a wrong people for the job problem.

And of course we should look more at why this is the only form of social mobility for them if it's really the case.
