Facebook has agreed to pay $52 million to thousands of current and former contract workers who developed mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after exposure to graphic and violent imagery on the social media platform, according to a settlement agreement announced on May 12.
Under the proposed settlement, which was filed Friday in San Mateo County Superior Court, California, more than 11,000 current and former Facebook content moderators from four states will each be eligible to receive a minimum of $1,000 in cash.
